Interview
A technical phone screening interview with a data scientist, followed by a series of 6 virtual interviews with a team of scientists, software engineers, and a technical presentation. The entire process was completed in 3 weeks from the first interview to the last one. Feedback was very fast too.

Interview
After applying online, I received an invitation for an one hour online interview. The interview consisted of questions about my previous work, and then a series of questions on deep learning (specifically on LLMs), and finally a LeetCode style coding question (number of islands in a 2D grid).
Applied for Amazon AGI. After first round, it will go into full round of multiple interviews. Lots of modern LLM training technic questions. There are still some behavioral questions, but less than general Amazon roles.
