This was a non-technical/ non-programmer role. There were no trick questions, The phone screen questions were specific to the program. The on site interview was five 45min back to back interviews, with a break for lunch. The questions were 100% behavioral based that are intended to be related to Amazons leadership principals. The "trick" to getting through these is to come prepared with SPECIFIC examples and how YOU contributed. I cannot stress enough to come prepared with examples.

Telephone Interview was more situational: Tell about a situation where you had to deal with something and how did you handle it, what was the outcome? Onsite interview was mostly related to prior experience, not sure how the remaining onsite interviews would proceed

Nothing specific stands out - if you've ever done a PM interview (either give one or taken one) with any big company, you know the kind of questions you'll get. "Tell me about a time things didn't go as expected", "tell me about a time you had to take an unpopular position", etc. There were two "design a solution" questions, but nothing specific (nothing like "what specific HW would you use" or "what language would you use" - remember, TPM role, not Engineer role). They were of the form "how would you do x if your customer asked you for it". Since they were things I hadn't done before, I tried to think of all the things I would need to know, learn, ask, and figure out to implement the solution. Amazon makes a difference between a Technical PM and other PM's, so YMMV if it's not a TPM role.
