Anyone have insight on Amazon MBA recruiting? I finished both online assessments for the sr product mgr role and radio silence for a week.

They seemed very hands off when I was recruiting. You might just find out when they release interview lists. They seem to interview a ton of people

What’s their starting base? For Sr. Prod Mgr MBA hire

I don’t know about product mgmt but I got a 105k offer for a finance role.

What was the role, BCG1?

It was a finance mba position. Don’t remember the specific title since I had already accepted the BCG role

I was offered 135K for a Sr product manager role in AWS post MBA

FWIW, My impression is that they are growing so rapidly they will take pretty much anyone from a top 15 MBA program

Yeah I feel Amazon isn’t picky. What made you pick BCG over it? Would love more color commentary if you’re willing to give it.

Location was a big factor for me, wanted to be East Coast for family reasons. I also found my interactions with Amazon to be very impersonal, which gave me a feeling they really only cared about hitting a recruiting number, not getting the best candidates. BCG’s recruiting experience was the exact opposite

Yeah, didn’t do a great job selling me on Amazon. No one I spoke to seemed excited to work there. This included the managers I was interviewing with. The interview process was a bit weird as well. They had a pressure cooker interview that just left a bad taste for me.

Interesting. Less about long term prospects and experience and more about people interactions?

That was the immediate, but long-term exiting to amazon from BCG is definitely possible, while the reverse is probably more challenging. Also, I prefer both the type of work and there lifestyle (travel) with this job

I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?
