      Program Manager Interview

      15 Jan 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Sydney) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      This was for a program manager role in Sydney AUS. Overall good experience. 2 phone screens 1 week apart. Followed by an intensive onsite one on one interview with 5 Amazonians about 3 weeks after 2nd phone screen. (No technical test) Preparation instructions is a little misleading. (maybe by design) told multiple times to have two examples for each principle. Where as its probably better to prepare 5 complex in detail examples to the behavioral questions below, that show case a few principles each (Added below) this will help you prioritise your preparation. Bar raiser one on one is intense, they will pick you apart if you stumble on giving an example. (Again seems by design so make sure you use examples you remember very clearly and strongly and have "backbone") i would suggest holding 3 of your most complex and confident detailed examples for your hiring manager and the bar raiser. Be confident and ensure you wrap it up with a great ending story and your impact from a data perspective.( i.e Successfully achieved X with a increase of % over X period ) Remeber bar raisers have VETO power. Meaning if 4 other stakeholders approve and bar raiser doesn't, that is the decision. I was lucky to extract some feedback from the Amazon recruiter and was told i wa unsuccessful due to examples not complex enough and other stronger candidates.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon (Berlin)

      Interview

      The process took a very long time and after 4 rounds of interviwes I got only an auto rejection email. The company check only the Leadership principles, and it looks like they don't have an interest in smth else. Anyway people were nice, the case study was interesting as well.

      I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Did a test task and was called by HR almost immediately for the next round. But salary range (full packet with stock and benefits) and return to office policy did nit much my expectations

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      very standard. the interviewers had a set of questions to ask about the LPs so we can anticipate beforehand. But I think I got ghosted in the end. One of the interviewers told me about the 2 & 5 rule but its been more than 2 weeks since my last interview and still no response from anyone so idk what happened.
