      Technical Program Manager Interview

      Jun 18, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jun 2020

      Interview

      The fun part is that I had not even applied for this position, they reached out via a social platform which everyone knows and I was happy about it as well. Interview process: 1st round Phone interview- Went really well, loved the interviewer and his attitude. This individual has more than 25 years of industry experience and I was honored to be even interviewed by this person. I was positive that I performed good in this round. Mostly questions were standard, Technical Program Manager as the title says is required to be technical. With my present and past experience, I can confidently say I am hands-on. 2nd Round: This is where things started falling apart, I was firstly surprised to see the lack of professionalism in this round by the interviewer, especially after a round with a distinguishable experienced industry leader. Not only was the interviewer boasting about themselves and Amazon throughout the interview, this individual kept on downgrading every other company. Not sure what Amazonians generally think about themselves, I was provided with guidelines on how to answer questions, learn Amazon leadership policies, which are all good, but that doesn't mean everything/everyone outside Amazon are dumb. I felt continuously that the second round surprisingly had interviewers who lacked significant experience/attitude compared to the first round. Not only was the interviewer welcoming discussions or conversations, it became a question answer session as the interviewer was not really focused on the interview throughout. I want to make sure that whatever is mentioned here is my experience and I am sure there would have been much better experiences with people around the world. If an individual do not have the right attitude it really doesn't matter where they work or who they work for. I would suggest Amazon to hire folks who are not just technical but also good humans. This is my experience with two phone interviews with Amazon, I do not regret wasting my time except for the second round where I had to deal with an individual who thought everyone outside of Amazon was dumb.

      Overall the communication started out strong from the recruiter but then I did not hear anything regarding the interview scheduling. Apparently I was too late into the process after all, and did not get an interview.

      I interviewed at Amazon

      Interview

      My interview process began with an online assessment, followed by a panel loop of five consecutive interviews. The rounds focused heavily on the company's Leadership Principles using STAR-method behavioral questions, including a "Bar Raiser" to ensure candidates exceed the current team's average.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Amazon (Brisbane) in May 2026

      Interview

      I applied online. After about a week or two, a recruiter from Amazon phoned me and we spoke for about 45 minutes. He was very pleasant to speak to, we covered some basics around the role and its expectations, and he laid out the next steps in the interview process, including the STAR method. The second step was a line manager interview where he focused on details of past projects and lessons / outcomes. The next step (which I didn't make it to) would have consisted of several interviewers asking different types of questions, and at this stage you don't need to satisfy each interviewer. I presume after this they give you a result. Much of what is documented online aligns with my experiences.
