I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
I applied through a recruiter. I had a phone screening with an ML expert after a week. He asked about general ML concepts and algorithms. The questions were neither hard nor easy if you knew the stuff. I'm still waiting for the feedback. But here, I've answered as No Offer as there was literally no option to choose like :"still in progress".
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe linear regression vs. logistic regression. Explain advantages and drawbacks of SVM.
The phone screen was straightforward, starting with some basic algorithm questions. After a few minutes of discussing my background, we dove into a coding challenge about finding two numbers that sum to a target. I enjoyed explaining both the brute-force method and the optimized hash map approach. The wild part was that I had practiced a similar problem on PracHub just a few days earlier, so it felt familiar. Following this, there was a technical round focused on machine learning concepts, which went smoothly before I received a written offer. Overall, a positive and engaging experience.

Question 1
Given an array of integers, find two numbers that sum to a target value. Start with a brute-force O(n^2) approach, then optimize using a hash map to O(n). Walk through edge cases (duplicates, negative numbers, no valid pair) and discuss the space-time tradeoff.
The interview process was smooth, and the interviewer was professional and friendly. It was online and took about 35 minutes. The recruiter will give you some guidelines on how to prepare.
Only had first round, a recruiter reached out to me as I had applied for another role. the total time to interview was 2 weeks. One recruiter interview and then with the hiring manager

Question 1
Low level system design about designing a ranking system based on the number of sales of a product as well as taking into consideration the time complexity. had to do some in O(logn)
