Amazon Senior Program Manager interview questions

1. Email from recruiter with 10 questions to complete (including salary details, which I did not provide) 2. Phone screen with recruiter (10 min); the quality of this call was so poor, and the background noise was so loud, that I actually thought I was on the phone with a call center; I didn't realize this person was the primary recruiter for the role. 3. Phone screen with hiring manager (45 min); hiring manager was mostly selling me on the role, then asked a bit about my background/experience. Role requirements seemed fluid - I was unsure on whether or not I was interested, but the hiring manager said they would build a role around the right person. (In retrospect, this should have been a flag.) 4. In person interview; 6 separate one-on-one 30-45 minute conversations. The interview was all over the place. Some interviewers shared what leadership principles they were screening on; others did not. I got asked several questions repeatedly, which became increasingly boring as the day went on. Questions were not hard, but they weren't very interesting either. Day-of recruiting coordinator was lovely at making sure I felt comfortable and was fed/watered; people asked if I needed a restroom break. Overall people ended up describing the role differently than the hiring manager, which raised some flags about leadership / team communication. I ended the day much less enthusiastic about the role, with a number of concerns. Stopped putting much effort into the interview mid-way through when I realized the role wasn't a fit and I wasn't interested in trying to find other opportunities at the company. 5. Received a "ding" two days after the interview, by phone. I told the recruiter that I had found the experience disappointing and that a number of flags were raised; he did not ask any follow-up questions and was not interested in hearing any feedback, which seemed like a missed opportunity for Amazon.

25 days after applying was contacted for phone screening with 1st level HR. Good discussion that moved me onto the next step. Scheduled two weeks later with a team member who cancelled 25 min. prior to our discussion. One week later, scheduled for interview with hiring manager. He called as scheduled without my resume or LinkedIn material in front of him and proceeded into a very "glass half empty" negative scenario discussion.
