Amazon Senior Program Manager interview questions

Everything started when a HR coordinator headhunted me in early September. It was for a senior mngt position in Luxembourg. The HR proposed me a 30 min phone interview, I had to present my background and answer 1 leadership question (see questions below). Then I had to prepare my CV and send it to a private link she shared with me. The HR presented my profile to a group of executives and let them choose a job for me. Unfortunately they guided me toward a job description that didn't fit. I couldn't refuse the interview with the hiring manager so I took it anyway Every interview in the hiring process is the same. It lasts 45 min. They ask you to present , then you have to answer two leadership questions, then you have 5 min to ask your questions. Prepare your questions in advance and prioritize because it's short! I passed the first interview but then I kindly said that the proposed job is not for me. So the HR coordinator asked me to pick jobs I wanted on amazon.jobs at luxembourg and send it to her. Basically she said Yes/No to each of my propositions. I could pretend only to have a level 6 job (only HR see the level, not you) on which avg salary is 90+30 K€. That why HR filtered. When we found the right opp, the HR contacted the Hiring Manager (HM) to propose my CV. HM was ok to have with me an interview. Again same interview process. I passed. Eventually I entered in the last step of the hiring process : the panel. To prepare the panel, I had to complete a numerical reasoning test (SHL) and to write a 2 pages essay within 5 days. The panel set-up on a same business day. So you have to take a day off. During that day, I had 5 interviews in a row with 4 different managers + HM again. Again same kind of interview. I didn't pass the panel and did not received a proposal. However here is my humble advice for you reader : take your time to schedule the interviews, take 1 or 2 days off before the panel to prepare because it's tough. During the panel, you have an avg of 15 min break between each interview, don't revise, relax instead. Prepare at least 10 stories to tell, Respect the STAR method in your stories, Insert data everywhere, Ask yourself the 5 WHY to be sure your stories are logical enough. Anticipate follow-up questions on stories, you will have data questions, if you don't know the answer just improvise. On my opinion : I didn't like the hiring experience at amazon. It is long, cold and dehumanized. My process lasted 3 month from first exchanges to the final answer. 5 min questions for a candidate, it seemed one way interviews. Panel is very intense. Last but not least : you wont never have any feedback during and after the process. So you can't know why you were good or not.

First round phone interview. I have applied to NON tech division even though i came from a technical background. But atleast i got an interview call. It is a positive sign
