I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
The interview was good. The interviewer goes deeper and deeper the more you mention the tech you used. For example, if you talked about using transformers, he would go deeper into how they work, the types of transformers, etc.

The first part is about your projects and they doo deeper and deeper with a touch of ML breadth when you mention something in ML.

Two phone screen interviews

Recruiter kept ghosting. Eventually, had an interview scheduled. But interviewer ghosted. Then got back to recruiter, who said they will schedule another interview, but ghosted again. Very unprofessional behavior from such a large firm.
