I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon (Boston, MA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Two short (30 minutes) interviews with PMs. The interviews were quite short and snappy. The interviewers fire questions at you and they focus on very niche things (see below). It was mostly a behavioral interview but there was some aspect of product. Overall it was an unpleasant process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Describe a time when you took a big business risk
- If you could write your own job description what would it be?
- Describe a situation in which you were part of a team with ambiguous ownership and you took ownership
- What is a product that shows customer obsession? What features would you change?
It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
