Recruiter sent a set of questions to answer and send them a copy. Questions were focusing in your failures, achievements, Amazon leadership and how it maps to your experience, as well as explain the most difficult project you got involved. I needed to prepare that before they arrange/offer a phone interview. Prior to my interview, I expressed the recruiter that I do not write code and I do not want questions to be asked in coding or SW design. I did not have any problems with SW project management, requirements and etc. My main background was HW. In my phone interview, there was not any single question about Amazon leadership or any questions about my resume. Only question was about API design and detail system SW design. I thought this is program management position and I felt uncomfortable with SW API design questions.
The HR person wanted to know about my previous experience and how it would fit the nine Amazon Values...
Mostly Product Management Related based on leadership principals
It wasn't the sort of interview you could characterise by listing questions. Each interview probed a different facet of the job (e.g. database knowledge, customer skills, coding, etc.). They were all disconnected: I had the impression I was interviewing for 8 different jobs.
Not all the questions mapped across obviously to the leadership principles, as they should have. For example, tell me about a time you ran a project which failed?
Write a program which will take an input string and output a palindrome
The most difficult question was- tell us about a difficult situation you have encountered at work in the past and about how you handled it.
