Amazon Software and Development Manager interview questions

Applied online at Amazon.com and the recruiter called up a week later to setup the interview. The Interviewer was very knowledgeable.

Applied for the position the position through the website. I was contacted within 2 days for the interview. HR person left a voicemail and followed up with an email asking for comfortable dates/times. I set something up after few days and the schedule did not work for the hiring manager. Finally a date was set a week from the initial date. I was asked to have pen and paper ready for technical questions. Hiring manager called me promptly on the interview date and time. He was very professional and made sure that I was in a comfortable place to attend the interview. There were two parts to the interview. First part was management questions. Very fundamental questions on Management Style, Communication methods and how to resolve conflicts. Second part consisted of very basic technical questions like difference between an array and a linked list, what is a hash table, polymorphism and OO concepts. The entire interview lasted about 45 minutes. The person interviewing me sounded new to the job as well. The interview was very easy and I thought I did well. There were few questions I could have answered better but overall I thought I was a good fit for the position. In two days I received an email stating that they are pursuing other candidates. I was disappointed and have no idea why I was rejected.
