I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (San Diego, CA) in Dec 2021
Interview
There were 2 technical rounds. Resume shortlisting was skipped because I was contacted by a manager on LinkedIn. Both of the rounds were quite easy. First was DSA, second was ML focused.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round: coding. Basic DS & algo questions Second: Deep dive into past projects and basic ML questions on overfitting, bias/variance, etc
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Nov 2022
Interview
Online Assessment of two easy-medium Leetcode problems. Then second round, a one-on-one conversation with an Applied Scientist. He did not show up the first time and had to re-schedule. When he did show up, he asked me very basic ML questions, and several behavioral ones based on Amazon leadership principles. He did not ask about research/background. Seemed very disinterested.

Question 1
What is overfitting/ bias variance tradeoff/ regularization/ classification vs regression I'd love to know if there's anything one can do to get matched with better interviewers?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in Oct 2022
Interview
I got referred by an internal employee. Then within a week I got contacted to start the interview process with an online assessment (2 medium-level leetcode problems). Now I am going to the second round which is a 60min interview with someone of the Applied Science team, covering science breadth and depth questions and behavioral questions.
