Amazon Technical Program Manager interview questions

The whole process includes 2-3 rounds of phone screens and 5-7 rounds of on-site interview. I got through the first 2 rounds of phone screens and am awaiting for the flight to Amazon campus (Seattle) for the full day interview. The phone screen didn't have much technical questions as I expected but a lot of behavioral questions: tell me about the projects you have done, what do you like about those projects, why do you leave your position, describe any difficult situation when you have issue communicating to your team and client, how do you resolved that conflict what are the risks you identified in phase (x) of your projects .... The interviewer was very prompt and sound professional. Overall the phone screens did leave me a good impression of Amazon.

The process consisted of an initial HR screen followed by three rounds of telephonic interviews and finally an day long on site interview at Seattle. Since the position was not development related and techno managerial, the telephone interviews focused on my approach to solving problems and my response to specific situations. The interviews followed a progressive case study approach where the future questions built on an already discussed case. The key elements of the interview were to assess the knowledge of the domain as well as understand my approaches to working in large teams and building relationships to drive the key programs to execution. That said the position definitely needed a person who could carry the job with little supervision. The onsite interview was a long one (though not as grueling as some others have stated) starting at 10.30 am and ending at 4.30 pm. I was in some form of an interview throughout the 6 hours and met with some of my peers, superiors and members from other teams to provide a more holistic assessment. There was one interview that focused exclusively on risk management and one on program management techniques while the rest were more well rounded. All in all, it was a tiring but good experience.
