Interview process was easy and process oriented. Based on my research, I was under the impression that 75% of the questions will be on Leadership Principles, however first 20 mins turned out to be just ONLY technical (architect's level).
Amazon is not for experienced professionals who are at the mid-manager level. Either you directly apply for most senior level position or as a college graduate. Definitely not for seasoned professionals like me as technical acumen greatly differs for every PM.
1 hour initial phone interview is extremely less time to learn about a candidate's background. Interviewers mindset are psychologically expecting answers based on Amazon's project execution point of view and business objectives.
Technical PMs are not to be judged based on their current project handled, such as legacy application migration. Every project has its own complexity.

Question 1
Tell me about a situation where you had disagreement with your team member.
Applied, Recruiter Screen then nothing. Not sure when I'll get a call back. The process seems super complicated. Will apply again now that I know what they are looking for.
HR Screening was scheduled. Then 1 technical screening phone interview was scheduled, followed by two Behavioral interviews, followed by two System design interviews, followed by 1 bar raiser interview. Lastly there was an offer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2025
