I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2024
Interview
Got an interview through a referral. First was with HR, which was more like a briefing about the role. Second and third were with technical people from the group. Asked to do pseudocode on the online portal they provide. I didn’t clear the third round though.

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.
