      Software Development Manager Interview

      1 Apr 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      I went through three phone interviews. The first was a simple conversation likely intended to ensure that I had effective verbal communication skills as well as potentially relevant experience so as not to waste anyone's time with further interviews that weren't warranted. I was told that the next interview would focus on my technical skills. There were a couple of questions related to my technical experience, followed by numerous questions related to my management experience - which definitely threw me off a little. The third interview was meant to focus on my management experience. Again, there were a couple of questions related to that, before the topic changed entirely and dove into some major and in-depth technical questions. Following that interview I was informed that they would not be proceeding any further. The apparent bait & switch on the focus of the interviews didn't sit well with me, but to be fair I should have been better prepared to answer any question.

      Software Development Manager Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon (Tokyo) in Feb 2026

      Interview

      The interview process is straightforward but intense. First interview was with another Software Dev Manager in the same team. After that the famous loop interview where I had to take 5 interviews in a row over two days ( using paid holidays at work ). Recruiter gave a lot of information about possible questions and helped with materials. However, I had to use same stories few times as the different interviewers asked same questions few times. Everything is okay, I had a good time during the interviews and it was a good exercise. However, I simply do not understand why they have to call to reject? I am not a customer to be obsessed with. A straight cut rejection via email works better than taking time out of my busy schedule. If they used this time to share some feedback, that would be useful. If they do not share any reason why I have to continue formal small talk just to get the rejection on my face?

      Question 1

      A time you were driving toward a goal and realized more than halfway in that it may not be the best goal.
