2 What exactly is Amazon looking for

At the end of each interview your interviewer will grade your performance using a standardized feedback form that summarizes the attributes Amazon looks for in a candidate. That form is constantly evolving, but we have listed some of its main components below.

The interviewer will file the notes they took during the interview. This usually includes: the questions they asked, a summary of your answers and any additional impressions they had (e.g. communicated ABC well, weak knowledge of XYZ, etc).

Your interviewer will then grade you on technical program management competencies. They will be trying to determine whether you are “raising the bar” or not for each competency they have tested. In other words, youll need to convince them that you are at least as good as or better than the average current Amazon TPM the level youre applying for (e.g. Senior TPM).

The exact technical competencies youll be evaluated against vary by role. But here are some common ones for TPM roles:

Your interviewer will also grade you on Amazons 16 leadership principles and assess whether youre “raising the bar” for those too. As mentioned above each interviewer is given two or three leadership principles to grill you on. Here are some of the most commonly tested principles for TPM roles:

Finally, each interviewer will file an overall recommendation into the system. The different options are along the lines of: “Strong hire”, “Hire”, “No hire”, “Strong no hire”.

Yes. Utilizing VPC makes it possible (Virtual Private Cloud).

1 What is an Elastic Transcoder?

To support multiple devices with various resolutions like laptops, tablets, and smartphones, we need to change the resolution and format of the video. This can be done easily by an AWS Service tool called the Elastic Transcoder, which is a media transcoding in the cloud that exactly lets us do the needful. It is easy to use, cost-effective, and highly scalable for businesses and developers.
