I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2022
Interview
Recruiter round, then one round of interview + second round of 6 interviews. 2nd round consists of at least 1 BQ question. Then offer negotiations with recruiter. Technical difficulty was not hard, yet some interviewers seem to not care about the interviews.

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.
