The interview begins with my thesis presentation followed by five rounds interviews. Only one interviewer tests my coding skills. Many leadership questions in every round. Free lunch with an Amazon employee.

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.
