J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en juil. 2023
Entretien
After submitting my application I got a recruiter email and did the online assessment within the first three weeks. After the online assessment (which covered basic things like logic and some PM-specific questions), I was invited for a phone screening. The interviewers at this stage were quite nice. I remember one of them trying to lighten the mood with a joke. Some of their questions here focused on my background with a few questions on customer obsession. They gave me a 2-page take-home assignment after this, where I was asked to create a PRD for a fictional Amazon product

Question 1
The onsite interviews took place at their Seattle office. Some of the questions I was asked were What is the cost of production of a kindle service? (estimation question) Tell me about one time you went above and beyond for a customer. What did you learn? How do you prioritize your responsibilities? What is your definition of a happy customer? Many of the PM questions at Amazon tend to focus on their leadership principles so being familiar with those can go a long way in your preparation. In addition, I used Product Alliance’s Amazon Flagship course and Cracking the PM interview to prepare myself for the interview. The course was quite helpful, they did a deep dive into specific areas Amazon recruiters are trained to look out for and they offered frameworks that simplified my answers,I used a framework they shared to answer a Product sense question I was asked about how I’d improve Amazon for challenged people.

Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months

a quick recruiter call and a 45-min phone screen with a PM that was surprisingly heavy on behavioral questions and metrics. also had to submit a 2-page writing sample (kind of like a mini PR/FAQ) before moving forward. the onsite was a 5 round loop: product strategy, execution, analytical, technical, and the notorious bar raiser round. the bar raiser is the absolute filter imo - they pick one project and drill incredibly deep to see if you actually owned the results or just coasted along. every single round is heavily anchored to their leadership principles (LPs). overall, it felt very intense and data-driven; it’s way less about brainstorming flashy features and more about how you ruthlessly prioritize, handle blockers, and dive deep into metrics. for prep, i focused on mapping my past projects to multiple LPs and practicing data teardowns. i did a mock on Prepfully w amazon PM specifically for the bar raiser round and that honestly saved me. it helped me catch a major blind spot -was staying way too high-level with my impact instead of clearly explaining the exact data points, technical constraints, and tradeoffs i owned end to end

Question 1
Describe the time when you suggested a counterintuitive approach to a dilemma and how you realized it necessitated a new mindset.
Straight forward and simple getting to know each other questions. None of the questions were anything I haven’t been asked before or difficult to answer. The interviewer was nice and polite.
