Not going with amazon's offer, but I went through team-matching.
At first, I thought the amazon stories on blind were a little overblown.
The first manager was super level headed. I asked normal questions, but I threw in a question about PIP at the end. He gave a good level headed answer for saying it happens but he works hard to help the person through it, and gave an example of a success story on his team.
The second hiring manager, was a little weird. First, he kept talking over me any time I tried to say a word or ask a question. There were a bunch of red flags, but the funniest was when I got to the question about how he handles PIP. His answer was "I can't believe you're asking this when you don't even work here yet. Why would you ask this, this is a mentality of an underachiever, you should be asking about how to get promoted not about how to underachieve, its very disappointing". Then at the end he says I really hope you join my team, here I'll give my email. Bruh lol
My reaction in my head was "I can't believe I'm being gas-lighted when I don't work here" haha but I kept the poker face. I'm actually shocked he convinced 60 people to team-match with his team. But basically confirmed people's opinions about amazon having nightmare and decent managers.

Turning the tables with the question- what is the answer you were hoping for ? What did you want him to say ?
Manager should answered it with a simple answer - โthere is a process etc etc rather than such opinionated answerโ
