Question 1
Tell me about a time when you have to decide between short term benefit and long term gain
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Amazon (New York, NY) in Oct 2025
Interview
Overall had a positive experience. I had an internal referral, which got my resume in front of the hiring team. The entire process took 6 weeks and was rather time intensive:
- Recruiter screen / quick call
- Online Assessment (quoted 90 min, took 3-4 hours)
- 1 hour behavioral phone screen with a member of the extended team
- Final round consisted of
-- Panel with 5 behavioral interviews each 1 hour
-- Writing assessment (1-2 pages)
The debrief took place 3 business days after the final round and I got a verbal offer from the recruiter that day. My recruiters were very communicative and shared details about what LPs to focus on for each call, who I'd be speaking with, etc.
All of the questions were behavioral and could be answered using STAR format -- even the ones aligned to PM functions (Product Roadmap, Stakeholder Management, Product Vision). There were no "hypothetical" PM style questions (eg "How would you assess which features to prioritize in your roadmap?")
One thing I found helpful was to hear the question, determine which LP it maps to, then share the strongest story you have for that LP. Having an idea which stories I wanted to prioritize for each interviewer / LP helped me make sure I was sharing a diverse set of my strongest stories.
Also would recommend checking out YouTube for what to expect. There are a lot of creators that will walk through what to expect and how to succeed at each stage. This + feedback from recruiters helped me prepare.
