I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
The interview lasts 60 minutes. With behavioral questions and a coding exercise. The interviewer is really nice and sometimes helps me with my coding exercise. Yet there is a strong requirement for internet.

Long process around 3 months.
I applied online, a recruiter reached out soon after. The recruiters were friendly but they did'nt clearly explain the interview process. Attended remote interview with a bunch of amazonians every one was very focused on the leadership principal.

Question 1
1) A machine learning take home assignment . It was a prediction problem using simplest method.
2) Phone Interview with ML Scientist - Basic questions in ML
3) Onsite - 5 rounds of interview
Every round focuses on Behavioural questions. Amazon breathes these principals.
1) Presentation - about a project you recently worked on (be prepared to get grilled)
2) Algo and DS - Not what you typically expect. It was more of a design problem
3) ML Application - About a Amazon product design using ML
4) ML breadth - Questions to test on your ML expertise
5) ML coding - Focus is more on functional programming and less on ML.
