Had an "onsite" earlier and here are my interview/questions (5): 1) Senior SDM manager - questions around ambiguity, situational, "how do you deal with..." 2) Senior SDM manager - Complexity questions, example system design walkthroughs (white boarding) 3) PTPM - This was hard - Asked a lot of summary / language (how to summarize) large problem statements - I can see why at this level - it caught me off guard on some of the detail summary. I think it was hard to keep scope, resources, and timelines in mind when asked a direct question (personally). 4) Senior SDM manager - Reliability, asked situational questions and examples of big changes made in the org. Also asked about situations where X happened (specific to resume). 5) Senior SDM manager - Asked a lot of questions around data handling and how to design front ends (but I don't have that type of experience). Suspect he was looking for data segregation/design techniques I didn't feel 100% technically sure. My overall thoughts: Everyone that interviewed me was very nice, professional and more prepared than FB interviews I've had. Recruiters are also really quick, nice and so far have better follow through. Interesting leadership principals and everyone seems very busy/intune with the core business (different than say G where you're really divorced from the revenue aspect). It was a tough interview, but I think the situational heavy questions were hard in the sense of "I want to be super honest and not make up bullshit" (I really want to represent myself and my skills rather than embellish and take liberties on what happened - hard to do with these type of questions). Waiting to hear back. TC: 300-330k depending on how you count refreshers. This ain't an AMA, just posting my experience (positive) #amazon #tpm
What is the current online interview schedule like? Ok to have notes out or is it frowned upon?
Avoid Amazon.....
Are you still at Amazon? I haven't gotten an offer so no worries until they pony up
Hi Ops, these are standard questions. I received very similar as L6. I heard L7 TPMs were never PIPed yet. so if you get a good offer, you can think it and these days they are very generous with the offers. ask big tc numbers. they may accomodate
Thanks for this. Why would they ask complexity questions for TPM role? Isn’t that a product manager role? I understand it’s technical PM. And how come you weren’t interviewed by product mgrs?
🤷
L5 at present? Received offer?
How'd it go OP? Offer?
I have an upcoming final round for Principal TPM with Amazon and this really helped. Thanks OP! Any other experiences would be great or any tips would be appreciated.
You're already on PIP
Pip pip horray
