Bad research experience
Bad research experience
- Good salary
- Good facilities and resources
- No science experience, just development work as an SDE.
- My publication record went down at Amazon; I wasn't passing as a researcher anymore. It was a step down for my career.
- Promotions are horrifically hard to get. Don't even try it if you still want to have a life outside the office.

The experience was easy and friendly. They asked generic questions about coding and my experience from my CV. They also asked basic machine learning questions related to the team's research area. Overall, it was a nice experience.

The interview started with basic HR questions, then included some technical but light questions. There were two interviewers: * A more technical one * A more HR one Both asked questions.

I applied online. Good, very good, but I didn't get any return call or whereabouts of my application; they just ghosted me. But the interview process is good. I hope I get to hear from them soon.
