Amazon Technical; Al Program Manager interview questions

Amazon found my resume online and called me for a TPM role. I had 2 phone interviews with them, first on Agile/SCRUM, second a more technical one (how do you design a system etc.). Both interviews and conversations went really well. The guys I talked to were nice, non-intimidating, good interviewers. But after the second interview I got an email from them saying they decided to move forward with other candidates! I asked for some feedback and the recruiter said Amazon has a non-feedback policy. What is this policy? how does it help Amazon and how does it help the candidate? where is the learning in this about the interview and about potential matches or non-matches? I have never seen this before. Does anyone know if other companies do this as well? is this becoming standard? hope not. Its not at Microsoft, which is great cause then you can target your search better. Anyway ... ExitSpeed

I had applied for the TPM position on their website and received an email from a recruiter within a week to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview lasted for an hour and I spoke with another TPM. They asked me quite a few questions that related to cultural fit, experience, etc. "What would your colleagues say about you if they were at a bar w/o you, etc". Within a day I received a follow up message for a 2nd phone interview with a different person. Same type questions, just a bit more specific to the potential role. Within a few days I received an email re: an onsite interview in Seattle. Amazon flew me up and paid all expenses. The interview process at Amazon lasted about 4-5 hours and I saw around 6-7 different people, all one on one. The first person I met with was a recruiter explaining the salary, benefits, etc. From there I met with an engineer, a QA person and other various people within Amazon. I had the most difficult time during the technical interview with the engineer as I wasn't prepared for the questions asked and the interviewee was very dry. Our personalties didn't quite gel. I had to problem solve quite a few various issues thrown at me and work on my solution on the board. Again, I wasn't prepared for these type of questions so it did take me a bit of time to get rolling with them. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would love the opportunity for another interview with such a fantastic company.
