I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Interview was challenging and a very interesting experience. Initial phone call with recruiter to gauge interest, then a month or two of silence. Next step was a phone call with a team member on the hiring team- went over background/ qualifications and asked behavioral questions. Afterwards another video call with the hiring manager. Final step was a 5 hour interview with a panel including the hiring manager, one team member on the hiring team, two functional managers that work with the team, and the bar raiser from a totally different team. The panel was intense, very tough questions and each interviewer probed further on each response. No offer for this specific position, however the recruiter mentioned that the interview team thought I might be a fit for other program manager roles. Hiring manager did not seem interested the whole time, so this decision wasn't a big surprise to me.

Interview
I was supposed to have a two - stage interview, with a technical interview first. The recruiters did a great job of making me aware what I'd be asked in the second interview, but the first interview was a surprise. It seemed that I was being interviewed for a Scrum Master role, with in-the-weeds questions more than any questions about how a program would be managed to engage the tasks. I didn't get the second interview and then got ghosted by the recruiters.
