I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Amazon
Interview
Interviewed for a machine learning internship in Seattle. Process took one week. I got an email from a recruiting coordinator to fix a time for a technical interview. I had a first phone interview after 4 days. Questions were about my research and technical ones were asked in the context of a technical problem where I was asked to improve a recommender system given a specific training dataset. I received a second email from the recruiter for a second technical interview which was similar to the first one. Both interviews were fairly easy and interviewers were very nice.

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.
