J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en févr. 2025
Entretien
Weird interview. Only the phone screen. Encountered a weird interviewer. Asked questions and about papers not related to my research at all. No fundamental ML or otherwise questions asked. The interviewer couldn't understand the mathematics I was explaining and had a very weak understanding of ML and CV concepts.
