The TPM recruiting at amazon started with a recruiter phone screening me, she was very friend and prepared for the interviews that I nught expect and provide an outlines in word doc. Then I got to the TPM phone screen, which took place over a videol. I was told to breakdown a system architecture I have worked , what kind of API used and database. SInce my project in the past most based on me managing the scope, facilitate meeting and heavy report, I didnt really involved in the architecture design, since I could answer the way they wanted, I didnt get an offer.

Followed the same Amazon process intial meeting with a recruiter, then multiple rounds with various team members, and the hiring manager. They use the STAR method or variations to answer with the situation, the challenge you faced, then the actions you take, and the result. If you don't use that format, you will not get positive feedback from the interviewer.
