Amazon Programming Manager interview questions

A three stage interview. First an initial asking questions relating to leadership principles. Secondly a written piece of 1-2 sides relating to an issue faced and how you dealt with it (again a principle based question). Final stage which was three, one hour long interviews where each interviewer asked 4-6 questions relating to the Amazon leadership principles.

It was actually not too bad. They mostly asked behavioral questions and if you actually take a second to process, you can usually tell which leadership principle they want you to answer. They asked a lot of follow up questions so make sure your story is real or at least prepare hard enough for it. Also prepare to back up your answers with data and metrics. They also expect you to answer based on your years and amount of experience. It started off with a recruiter call, then a call with the hiring manager, then a call with other people and the bar raiser.
