Nothing worth writing home about. If you are a TPM type person you will have gone through PM pain, technical pain, and business pain.
How would you manage a large program with distributed teams and an aggressive 6 month time to launch
They have basic project management questions and also ask you to define the logic to solve a problem (that can be solved programatically). For example, how many buses are needed for a particular bus depot given a specific schedule.
Based on resume and based on role
A lot of PM type scenario questions. Try to really understand the job description. Keep in mind this is a "Technical" program manager, so know your technologies.
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
If a feature deliverable is falling between two teams and neither of them want to assume ownership and referring to the other team how do you address this?
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?"
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.
