Telephone Interview was more situational: Tell about a situation where you had to deal with something and how did you handle it, what was the outcome? Onsite interview was mostly related to prior experience, not sure how the remaining onsite interviews would proceed
Define the difference between dependencies and risk. How do you plan for risk mitigation?
Q: "Your CTO wants you to deliver a mobile-only app for selling produce. What is your development approach and do you have any concerns?"
All questions were expected to be answered in a format that is acceptable at Amazon, very unusual. They were looking for an Amazon robot not someone with a brain.
Nothing specific stands out - if you've ever done a PM interview (either give one or taken one) with any big company, you know the kind of questions you'll get. "Tell me about a time things didn't go as expected", "tell me about a time you had to take an unpopular position", etc. There were two "design a solution" questions, but nothing specific (nothing like "what specific HW would you use" or "what language would you use" - remember, TPM role, not Engineer role). They were of the form "how would you do x if your customer asked you for it". Since they were things I hadn't done before, I tried to think of all the things I would need to know, learn, ask, and figure out to implement the solution. Amazon makes a difference between a Technical PM and other PM's, so YMMV if it's not a TPM role.

Tell me about a time when you invented something.
I cannot add questions here due to NDA I signed, but would tell my fellow aspirants that anyone in the interview panel can ask any question and listen to your story (STAR method) even if he / she does not understand what you are saying. To seek attention, add words like ownership, trust, frugality, failure and then lessons learnt, they will pick them up and select you ;)
why do you want to work for amazon? tell me about a time when you were faced with a real time pressured difficulty, what did you do?
