Have a 4 round loop interview for Sr. Product Manager at Amazon coming up through the MBA pathways program soon.
If I land it the trajectory of my life and that of my family changes but I'm starting to feel the pressure. I haven't had a lot of traction for job searching since I graduated in December so this is the best lead I have and I'm getting scared now.

They want to know how well you will work with them and what value you would add to the team.
Your goal (as well as information gathering) is to leave a good impression. So, later, when the ECD or Recruiter asks, they say you were the best candidate and vote you get hired immediately.
If the agency has a strong creative focus, they should be interested in the work. This is your chance to find out.
Example Questions:
-what is the internal approval process?
-how big is the account team?
-what is this person’s role?
-is the agency top heavy or well balanced?
-how long does Strategy spend on a brief?
-how many rounds of creative does the client usually see before something sells?
-what is the agency/client relationship like?
-what work are they personally most proud of? What role did they play in it?
-what are their pain points with the agency process?
-what is the ECD like to work with?
-do creatives present their own work?
-what are the production budgets like?
-how is everything changing with COVID and WFH?
You get the idea. Just treat them as a person, and you’ll get more out of it than thinking of them as a different department.
