I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2021
Interview
First technical screening call. Even though I was told to read Amazon leadership principles beforehand, the call did not include any sort of behavioral questions. All questions were technical: basic stats and general machine learning knowledge

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question on optimizers; comparing gradient decent, adam optimizer etc
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.
Interviewed with 1 phone screen, 1 coding, 2 ml design and 2 lp rounds. Most questions were non-leetcode questions more related to day to day ml implementations. The questions were very practical.
