Entrevista
I got contacted by HR immediately after my online application. I was invited for an online analytical test.
Then got selected for a first interview over the phone with a manager.
I expected the typical behavioral questions but the interviewer did not ask even a single one. Instead I got math/strategic thinking questions such as "What is the value of a cow?" (among others less business-oriented problems).
Later on was asked potential solutions to the problem I would have been solving in the role I was applying for.
I was too thrown off by the first questions to make a reasonable impression for the rest of the interviewer. Overall it was not extremely difficult if I had managed to keep my calm.
The negative experience was related to the fact that there was no interest in my previous work history during the interview and that they did not send any message saying they decided to pass. I checked the status on the Amazon job application platform instead.

Good interview, reached the marathon loop of interviews. It was intense and quite focused on STAR stories obviously. Got some nice feedbacks as well to improve in case I managed to get another interview in a few months

Pregunta 1
How did you manage a conflicting situation with a peer ?
Straight forward and simple getting to know each other questions. None of the questions were anything I haven’t been asked before or difficult to answer. The interviewer was nice and polite.

a quick recruiter call and a 45-min phone screen with a PM that was surprisingly heavy on behavioral questions and metrics. also had to submit a 2-page writing sample (kind of like a mini PR/FAQ) before moving forward. the onsite was a 5 round loop: product strategy, execution, analytical, technical, and the notorious bar raiser round. the bar raiser is the absolute filter imo - they pick one project and drill incredibly deep to see if you actually owned the results or just coasted along. every single round is heavily anchored to their leadership principles (LPs). overall, it felt very intense and data-driven; it’s way less about brainstorming flashy features and more about how you ruthlessly prioritize, handle blockers, and dive deep into metrics. for prep, i focused on mapping my past projects to multiple LPs and practicing data teardowns. i did a mock on Prepfully w amazon PM specifically for the bar raiser round and that honestly saved me. it helped me catch a major blind spot -was staying way too high-level with my impact instead of clearly explaining the exact data points, technical constraints, and tradeoffs i owned end to end
