I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Bengaluru) in Nov 2021
Interview
The interviewer was a bit over-pedantic about textbook definitions and didn't focus on what knowledge I brought to the table. It seemed as if they had done an online course and were checking whether my answers matched word for word from what they read.

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.
