I was first contacted by an Amazon HR recruiter, who then set up a telephone interview with the hiring manager upon confirmation of my interest in the role. The interview focused on previous experiences and resulting strengths and weaknesses. There was a brief introduction to the role being filled and team structure, as well as opportunity for Q&A at the end. The tone was friendly throughout.

Question 1
What has been your greatest accomplishment and why?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2013
Interview
2 interviews in the first round and 2 interviews in the second, final round. Focus in the first round were on past work experience, industry/company knowledge, and tough behavioral questions. Second round interview was more of the previous, but also included difficult case questions. For the case questions, the interviewer wanted you to walk them through a business problem you might encounter as a product manager at Amazon.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Amazon in Jan 2014
Interview
One of the interviewers seemed nice but the other wasn't. I hear sometimes they tag team as good cop/bad cop. We were off to an awkward start when I mentioned the weather on the West Coast and my interviewer said Seattle wasn't on the West Coast.
The rest of the interview was ok. A resume walk-through, how I would improve the product, how I would communicate that to developers. I started to mention that I would prototype but I got the response "Product Managers don't code". Something to note for any future interviews with them.
