Wireless Project Manager Interview Questions

6 wireless project manager interview questions shared by candidates

All Amazon questions are "experience-based" behavioural questions - crucial for preparation! You should be prepared to answer in a CAR model (context, action, result). Worst mistake at Amazon: talk too much, dont get to the point, lose your argumenation, dont answer efficiently. Amazon is a efficiency focussed machine, they dont want to waste time on small talk and candidates leaving their train of though. FOCUS and PREPARE great examples. Examples: Tell me an example when you took a decision involving risk and how you solved it. When did you overcome a situation where you needed to gain trust? What was you achievement you are most proud of? What was your contribution? (expect fast, precise follow-up questions on these probing questions) Only a few questions relating to CV: Tell me in 5min your past jobs and how you added value, ideally quantifiable. A few questions regarding how to model an analysis in excel (down to "which formula did you use?") and towards ethical questions. No standard questions (strenghts, weakness, why Amazon, why this job, where are you in 5 years). Questions are evaluated on Amazon leadership principles. Interviewees hack your answers in parallel into laptops - this is a major distraction and was highly irritating to me. Be prepared for this. There is not a lot of small talk, interviewers keep their time slot (45min) precisely. Dont forget to drink and hop to the toilet in between interviews :) Biggest negative point: Due to their strict interview structure they are giving you a fast, rigourus pace! They jump from question to question, not filling in with a lot of small talk. Some of the interviewers barely managed to keep eye contact and only looked up from their laptop when asking a question - totally inacceptable! Leading to overall impression "they need a machine, not a matching person". Feedback from HR: Was great and in-depth. But this is not standard at Amazon. HR stressed a few times that they are know for not having a "coffe break culture" and are trimmed to efficiency. This reflects in their interview process. Not for me. Great that I was not tempted with an offer... .-)
