1,065 software development manager interview questions shared by candidates

The non-technical qustion were typical HR questions. Technical questions were about how the candidate would approach the development of a system such as automating a parkade, which technology is more suitable than the other (SQL or NoSQL?), brain teasers and on-site coding on a white board (easy tasks, it happened that all interviewers asked string questions).

Here the most used questions (https://igotanoffer.com/blogs/product-manager/amazon-product-manager-interview). The key to succeed is to understand each principle, separate examples then, train with the questions. Unfortunately, the Hiring Manager was busy then the human resource asks for another person in HQ to do the interview. Pay attention to share a more flexible agenda for the interviews. I had a lot of appointments and I was a little bit restricted. I'm from Brazil and the interviewer the call quality was not fine, so much noise and delay. It keeps failing, the interviewer connects almost 4 times during the whole interview. By the end, the English-Indian accent of the interviewer and all those difficulties makes things really difficult, not the principles at all, because I had all examples, cases, and ways to demonstrate. Despite I can talk in English well, all these things together made me fail. More 6 months, and I'll try it again. :(

Let's say you inherit a system that no one is supporting but your team needs to use to deliver. 1. How would you manage the development and delivery of your product? 2. What if you need another team's help? How do you get their attention? 3. What if this other team is stressed with their own delivery? 4. What if you have a tight timeline but the relevant resources are in different parts of the org?
