How it went
The candidate interviewed for a Senior Product Manager position, with openings at both L5 and L6 levels. The interview process consisted of an initial 30-minute screening followed by five one-hour interviews, which could be scheduled independently. The interviews were predominantly behavioral, with a strong emphasis on Amazon's leadership principles, even when not explicitly stated. Candidates were expected to understand the underlying principles being assessed and tailor their responses accordingly, as the process focused more on these principles than on product case studies or execution tasks.
