Question 1
tell me a situation when you had disagreement with others.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon in May 2017
Interview
I applied through referral for technical program manager role in Madrid and got immediately contacted by the recruiter to set up the phone interview with technical program manager.
The interview lasted for 45 minutes and 15 minute for questions. All questions were behavioral. Before the interview, the recruiter informed me to read 14 Amazon principles. All questions were implicitly around those principles.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Ban Phone Savang)
Interview
I received an email regarding a event they were holding in order to people who were of a diverse culture. The initial interview or screening was okay and seemingly just a review to see if I fit what they were looking for in order to fill the position. The phone interview was more of a skill review & resume review that really went into the technical program management. What I found was that the interviewer was more set on the exact program management methodology that they were used to and not inclined to any other path. I ask specific questions that were not answered to my liking and was given answers which were the same answers that I gave although my answer was deemed the incorrect. I truly believe that the interviewer was not listening to any of the answer that I was giving and was intimidated by my skill-set because my skill set was definitely higher than what the position required. I was more technically Savvy than the interviewer and every time I ask what agile methodology they utilized, I was told that they just use agile not a specific agile just agile. When I went into specific methodologies he could not say which methodology they used only that they they use agile. I was disappointed in the lack of knowledge program management methodologies and the disregard of of experience that I have managing multiple teams because this program management position was just pure program /project management and no direct management.
