How have you handled a team member that was under-performing
Question on system scalability
What was your most difficult project
Nothing worth writing home about. If you are a TPM type person you will have gone through PM pain, technical pain, and business pain.
How would you manage a large program with distributed teams and an aggressive 6 month time to launch
Telephone Interview was more situational: Tell about a situation where you had to deal with something and how did you handle it, what was the outcome? Onsite interview was mostly related to prior experience, not sure how the remaining onsite interviews would proceed
Q: "Your CTO wants you to deliver a mobile-only app for selling produce. What is your development approach and do you have any concerns?"
Nothing specific stands out - if you've ever done a PM interview (either give one or taken one) with any big company, you know the kind of questions you'll get. "Tell me about a time things didn't go as expected", "tell me about a time you had to take an unpopular position", etc. There were two "design a solution" questions, but nothing specific (nothing like "what specific HW would you use" or "what language would you use" - remember, TPM role, not Engineer role). They were of the form "how would you do x if your customer asked you for it". Since they were things I hadn't done before, I tried to think of all the things I would need to know, learn, ask, and figure out to implement the solution. Amazon makes a difference between a Technical PM and other PM's, so YMMV if it's not a TPM role.
Amazon has decided to compete directly with Netflix. Design the system (top to bottom) that will help us win the battle.
