Amazon Sr. Manager Software Development interview questions

Interview process was about as expected for an organization as large as Amazon. Maneuvering through the chain of recruiters and screeners took time, of course. The interview itself struck me as a bit brief/terse. Lots of behavioral interviewing questions, little attempt to connect the dots between them.

A recruiter contacted me and we had a good phone discussion. Then I had my first telephonic interview with someone who was in a similar role. It was a very positive experience. Then they invited me to a second telephonic interview again with someone in a similar role. This interview did not go so well. The interviewer asked me how to pronounce my name and still continued to mispronounce my name. Not a big deal, but just proves that he was not at all paying attention to what I was saying. Through out the interview it almost sounded like: Me - I was doing yoga Interviewer - oh, so you were drinking coffee and then what happened Me - No I was doing yoga Interviewer - so you were not drinking coffee and you were working out. How fast were you running? Me - No I was not running, I was doing yoga. It was a very frustrating experience. I think the interviewer was sleepy and was not interested in the conversation. Usually, as a courtesy the interviewer lets you ask questions at the end. But this person at the end said, "it was nice speaking to you" and ended the conversation. Anyways, in spite of a descent interview, the disengagement of the interviewer costed my interview. The reason I am giving neutral is because I had a good and a bad experience. It would be nice for Amazon to review these interviews as some of us spend serious time preparing for these interviews and if it goes like this then it becomes very disheartening.
