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.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jun 2026
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.
