Congratulations.
If you're reading this, you've probably got an interview at Amazon and are looking for ways to ace it. Of course, Amazon uses many frameworks, including the STAR method and "Amazon LPs", or leadership principles.
Understanding these and how they work will put you in good stead to succeed in the interview, create a great impression, and secure the role, and that's what this guide is all about.
No matter what role you're applying for—software engineer, product manager, operations specialist, or marketing professional—you'll face intensive questioning about these principles.
Let's get into it.
What are Amazon LPs?
Amazon Leadership Principles (Amazon LPs) are 16 core values that guide decision-making, problem-solving, and behavior throughout the company.
Developed and refined throughout Amazon's history, these principles touch every aspect of the company's operations—from daily team meetings to major strategic initiatives.
The current 16 Amazon LPs are:
- Customer Obsession: Leaders start with the customer and work backwards.
- Ownership: Leaders act on behalf of the entire company beyond their own team.
- Invent and Simplify: Leaders expect and require innovation from their teams.
- Are Right, A Lot: Leaders have strong judgment and good instincts.
- Learn and Be Curious: Leaders never stop learning and consistently seek to improve.
- Hire and Develop the Best: Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire.
- Insist on the Highest Standards: Leaders have relentlessly high standards.
- Think Big: Leaders create and communicate bold directions.
- Bias for Action: Leaders value calculated risk-taking and speed.
- Frugality: Leaders accomplish more with less.
- Earn Trust: Leaders listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
- Dive Deep: Leaders operate at all levels, stay connected to details, and audit frequently.
- Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit: Leaders challenge decisions when they disagree but commit once a decision is made.
- Deliver Results: Leaders focus on key inputs and deliver despite setbacks.
- Strive to be Earth's Best Employer: Leaders work to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment.
- Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility: Leaders create more than they consume and always leave things better than they found them.
While these are primarily designed for leaders within the Amazon structure, anyone looking to work at Amazon can benefit from knowing these.
Not only will you know what leaders are striving for and what they're working towards, but also what is expected and whether or not a leader is working to Amazon's standards.
This can all be used to your advantage.
Why Amazon LPs matter in the interview process
Let's get some real clarity on these principles, starting with why Amazon emphasizes these principles during hiring. There are several important reasons:
Cultural alignment
Amazon believes hiring for cultural fit is just as important as hiring for skills. Technical capabilities can be developed, but alignment with core values is essential for long-term success.
Predictive power
Amazon has found that past behaviors aligned with these principles are the strongest predictors of future success at the company. This is why the interview process focuses heavily on behavioral questions.
Decision-making framework
Once hired, Amazonians use these principles to guide countless daily decisions. The interview process tests whether you can apply this framework effectively.
Company-wide language
Amazon LPs create a shared vocabulary and set of expectations across the organization, allowing teams to collaborate efficiently despite the company's massive scale.
Long story short, when you have a company as large and as global as Amazon, you need to make sure everyone and everything is operating to the same standard and on the same page, ensuring the company runs smoothly.
When it comes to leaders, using these principles is one of the ways Amazon achieves it.
How Amazon LPs appear in interviews

So, you go to the interview knowing the LPs will come up, but how? What can you expect? Let's take a look:
Dedicated LP interviews
Most Amazon interview loops include one or more sessions specifically focused on evaluating your alignment with the Leadership Principles.
These interviews typically last 45-60 minutes and are conducted by "Bar Raisers"—specially trained interviewers who ensure hiring standards remain high.
Behavioral questions
The primary tool for evaluating Amazon LPs is the behavioral interview question. These questions typically take the form of:
- "Tell me about a time when you..."
- "Give me an example of how you..."
- "Describe a situation where you..."
Each question is designed to probe for specific leadership principles, though a strong answer often demonstrates multiple principles simultaneously.
Written assessments
Some Amazon roles require written assessments where you'll analyze business scenarios or respond to prompts that test your alignment with Amazon LPs.
Technical question evaluation
Even in technical interviews, your approach to problem-solving is evaluated through the lens of leadership principles like "Bias for Action," "Dive Deep," and "Invent and Simplify."
The STAR method: Amazon's preferred response structure
As mentioned before, Amazon prefers using the "STAR method" when structuring and answering your behavioral responses. This framework ensures you provide complete, well-organized examples that demonstrate your alignment with Amazon LPs.
It helps you answer clearly and comprehensively and helps Amazon find the right talent by being able to compare everybody equally.
STAR stands for:
Situation
Set the context by describing the background and circumstances of your example.
- What was the setting?
- What was your role?
- What was the broader challenge or opportunity?
Example: "In my role as a product manager at XYZ Company, we were losing market share to a competitor who had recently launched a feature that our customers were requesting."
Task
Explain your specific responsibility or objective in this situation.
- What were you personally responsible for?
- What was your goal?
- What constraints were you operating under?
Example: "I was tasked with developing a competitive response within 60 days while working with a team that was simultaneously handling three other high-priority projects."
Action
Detail the specific steps you took to address the task.
- What did you personally do?
- How did you overcome obstacles?
- How did you apply relevant skills or thinking?
- How did you involve others?
Example: "First, I conducted customer interviews to deeply understand the need beyond just matching the competitor's feature. Then, I analyzed usage data to identify patterns that would inform our approach. I created a proposal that would actually leapfrog the competitor's solution and secured executive buy-in by demonstrating the ROI. Finally, I coordinated across engineering, design, and marketing teams to create an implementation plan to fit our tight timeline."
Result
Share the outcomes of your actions using metrics whenever possible.
- What was the quantifiable impact?
- How did this affect the business, customers, or team?
- What did you learn?
- How did this contribute to your growth?
Example: "We launched the feature two weeks ahead of schedule, which led to a 14% increase in user engagement and helped us regain 8% market share within the first quarter. The approach we developed became a template for a competitive response that the company still uses today. I learned the importance of looking beyond feature parity to truly solve customer problems."
Common mistakes in Amazon LP interviews
Before diving into preparation strategies, let me share the most frequent pitfalls I've seen candidates encounter when discussing Amazon LPs:
1. Providing generic examples
Many candidates offer vague or hypothetical scenarios rather than specific, detailed experiences. Amazon interviewers are trained to probe for specificity.
2. Focusing only on successes
Amazon values learning from failure. If you only share success stories, you're missing opportunities to demonstrate a growth mindset and resilience.
3. Overemphasizing team achievements
While collaboration is important, Amazon interviewers want to understand your individual contribution. Using "we" throughout your answers without clarifying your personal actions is a red flag.
4. Mismatching principles
Some candidates prepare excellent stories but apply them to the wrong leadership principles, indicating a superficial understanding of Amazon's culture.
5. Under-preparing for follow-up questions
Amazon interviewers don't just accept your initial answer—they probe deeper with follow-up questions that test the authenticity and depth of your experience.
6. Neglecting data and metrics
Amazon is a data-driven company. Responses that lack quantifiable results or metrics are generally less compelling.
7. Not addressing tradeoffs
Many Amazon LPs involve inherent tensions (like Bias for Action vs. Dive Deep). Strong candidates acknowledge these tradeoffs explicitly in their responses.
How to prepare for Amazon LP interviews: A methodical approach
Pitfalls in mind, let's take a look at what you should be doing when it comes to systematically preparing and building your interview responses using both STAR and the LPS.
1. Create your experience inventory
Begin by cataloging 15-20 significant professional experiences that could demonstrate alignment with Amazon LPs.
For each experience, note:
- The basic situation and your role
- The challenge or opportunity you faced
- Your specific actions and decisions
- Quantifiable results and outcomes
- Lessons learned or insights gained
- Which Amazon LPs might this experience demonstrate
This inventory becomes your raw material for crafting responses to behavioral questions.
2. Map experiences to multiple Amazon LPs
The most efficient preparation approach is to develop versatile stories that can be adapted to illustrate different leadership principles.
Create a matrix with Amazon LPs on one axis and your experiences on the other. Identify which stories could effectively demonstrate each principle with minor adjustments in emphasis.
3. Practice the STAR format rigorously
For each key experience, draft and refine complete STAR responses. Ensure each component is well-developed:
- Situation: Clear, concise context (10-15% of your answer)
- Task: Your specific responsibility (10-15%)
- Action: Detailed steps you took (50-60%)
- Result: Quantifiable outcomes and learnings (20-25%)
Practice delivering these responses within 2-3 minutes while including sufficient detail.
4. Prepare for follow-up questions
For each story, anticipate deeper questions interviewers might ask, such as:
- "What would you do differently now?"
- "How did you handle disagreement during this process?"
- "What data informed your decision?"
- "How did you balance quality and speed?"
Preparing for these follow-ups ensures you can dive deeper into your examples.
5. Conduct mock interviews
Find someone familiar with Amazon's hiring process to conduct mock interviews. Request candid feedback on:
- The clarity and impact of your stories
- Whether you're effectively demonstrating the intended Amazon LPs
- Your use of the STAR format
- Areas where more specificity or metrics would strengthen your responses
An experienced mentor, especially someone who's worked or is working at Amazon, can be ideal because you'll get first-hand experience on how to do this successfully.
6. Study Amazon's business and products
Understanding Amazon's business context helps you frame your responses in ways that resonate with interviewers. Review:
- Recent Amazon initiatives in your target area
- Public statements from leadership
- The company's current challenges and opportunities
- How your role contributes to Amazon's broader mission
Amazon LP question examples and response strategies
Bringing this all together, let's go through some specific questions commonly used to assess each Amazon LP, along with response strategies and abbreviated example answers:
1. Customer obsession
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you made a difficult decision to satisfy a customer."
Response Strategy: Focus on how you prioritized long-term customer benefit over short-term convenience or cost. Show how you gathered customer insights and used them to drive decisions.
Example Answer: "At my previous company, we received feedback that our checkout process was causing a 23% abandonment rate.
While our product team was focused on launching new features, I advocated for pausing our roadmap to fix this customer pain point. I personally analyzed customer support tickets, conducted user testing sessions, and identified three critical issues.
After presenting this data to leadership, I secured resources to redesign the checkout flow. Within two months of implementation, our abandonment rate dropped to 8%, resulting in $1.2M in additional annual revenue. This experience reinforced that customer problems should always take priority over internal priorities."
2. Ownership
Example Question: "Describe a time when you saw a problem and took the initiative to fix it rather than waiting for someone else."
Response Strategy: Highlight how you identified something beyond your immediate responsibility and took action. Emphasize long-term thinking and how you consider impact beyond your team.
Example Answer: "While analyzing our company's cloud infrastructure costs, I noticed we were spending $30K monthly on unused resources across departments outside my own. Rather than simply flagging this to the finance team, I took ownership by building a dashboard that identified specific waste areas.
I then organized cross-team workshops to train colleagues on cost optimization. This initiative reduced our infrastructure spending by 40% within three months and led to the creation of a permanent Cloud Cost Optimization team that I initially led alongside my regular duties."
3. Invent and simplify
Example Question: "Give me an example of when you created a simple solution to a complex problem."
Response Strategy: Show how you challenged conventional thinking, eliminated complexity, and found innovative approaches. Emphasize both the creative and simplification aspects.
Example Answer: "Our data science team was struggling with a complex ETL process that took 8 hours to run and required frequent maintenance. Instead of incrementally improving the existing system, I stepped back to reconsider the fundamental approach.
I designed a streaming architecture that processed data incrementally rather than in batches. This not only reduced processing time from 8 hours to 15 minutes but also eliminated 90% of the maintenance overhead. The solution was eventually adopted by six other teams facing similar challenges."
4. Are Right, A Lot
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you had to make a decision without clear data."
Response Strategy: Demonstrate strong judgment by showing how you gathered available information, sought diverse perspectives, recognized your own biases, and made a well-reasoned decision despite uncertainty.
Example Answer: "When leading our expansion into the European market, we had conflicting recommendations about which country to enter first. With limited market research available, I assembled a cross-functional team that included people who had worked in European markets. I identified my own bias toward Germany based on personal experience and consciously sought perspectives challenging this view.
After synthesizing the various inputs, I decided to enter the Netherlands first, despite it not being the largest market, because it offered the best combination of regulatory simplicity, language compatibility, and cultural fit with our product.
This proved correct when we achieved profitability there in half the time compared to subsequent country launches."
5. Learn and Be Curious
Example Question: "Describe a time when you sought out a new skill or subject matter to improve your work."
Response Strategy: Show proactive learning beyond job requirements. Highlight how you identified knowledge gaps, pursued learning systematically, and applied new knowledge to achieve better results.
Example Answer: "When my team was tasked with implementing our first machine learning feature, I recognized that as the product manager, my limited ML knowledge would hamper my ability to lead effectively.
I enrolled in an online ML course, joined a study group with engineers, and spent weekends building sample models to understand the technology's capabilities and limitations.
This investment allowed me to ask better questions, make more informed prioritization decisions, and collaborate more effectively with data scientists. As a result, we delivered a recommendation engine that increased user engagement by 34% and became a competitive differentiator for our product."
6. Hire and Develop the Best
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you helped someone on your team develop their skills."
Response Strategy: Demonstrate how you identify talent, provide growth opportunities, set high expectations, and give constructive feedback. Show both short-term results and long-term development impact.
Example Answer: "I noticed that one of my team members had strong analytical abilities but struggled with presentation skills, limiting their career progression. I created a development plan that included shadowing me in executive meetings, practicing presentations with video recording for feedback, and gradually taking over portions of important stakeholder updates.
I provided specific, actionable feedback after each opportunity and celebrated improvements. Within six months, this person was confidently leading presentations to our C-suite.
They were promoted the following cycle and have since become a team lead themselves, using similar development approaches with their reports."
7. Insist on the Highest Standards
Example Question: "Give me an example of when you refused to compromise on quality despite pressure to do so."
Response Strategy: Show how you established clear quality benchmarks, identified improvement opportunities, maintained high standards despite constraints, and helped others meet these standards.
Example Answer: "Prior to a major product launch, our QA team identified performance issues that would impact about 5% of users. With investor demos scheduled and marketing campaigns ready, there was enormous pressure to proceed with the launch and fix issues in a later update.
I insisted we pause the launch, demonstrating with data that the affected users represented our highest-value customer segment. I worked around the clock with engineers to diagnose and fix the issues, implementing a 24-hour testing protocol.
We launched just one week later with a rock-solid product that received exceptional reviews. This decision established a precedent that schedule pressure could never override quality concerns."
8. Think Big
Example Question: "Describe a time when you proposed a bold idea or vision that transformed your team or business."
Response Strategy: Demonstrate how you look beyond immediate constraints, challenge assumptions, create compelling visions, and translate big thinking into practical steps.
Example Answer: "When I joined the mobile team, our strategy was focused on feature parity with our web product. While this made incremental business sense, I saw an opportunity to reimagine our entire customer experience for a mobile-first world.
I developed a vision document showing how mobile could leverage unique capabilities like location awareness and cameras to solve customer problems in entirely new ways. I created prototypes to illustrate key concepts and secured executive sponsorship by showing how this approach could open new revenue streams.
Two years later, mobile represents 70% of our user engagement and has enabled three new business lines that now generate 30% of company revenue."
9. Bias for Action
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you took a calculated risk to achieve an important goal."
Response Strategy: Highlight how you balance deliberation with decisive action, make decisions with incomplete information, calculate risk/reward trade offs, and execute quickly.
Example Answer: "When our main competitor announced a major feature launch at their annual conference, we had just six weeks to respond or risk losing key accounts.
Rather than following our usual 12-week development cycle, I proposed a streamlined approach that focused on delivering the three most critical capabilities that would address 80% of customer needs. I secured a dedicated team, established daily stand-ups, eliminated non-essential meetings, and implemented a modified approval process.
We released our competitive response two days before our competitor's feature went live, retaining all at-risk accounts. This taught me that when speed is crucial, perfect can be the enemy of good enough."
10. Frugality
Example Question: "Give me an example of when you found a way to deliver results with fewer resources."
Response Strategy: Show how you question resource requirements, find creative constraints, eliminate waste, and maximize output relative to input.
Example Answer: "When tasked with launching a marketing campaign with a budget 40% below industry benchmarks, I rejected the conventional approach of simply doing less. Instead, I analyzed our historical campaign data and discovered that 70% of our conversions came from just 30% of our spending.
I reallocated the budget to focus exclusively on high-performing channels, negotiated performance-based contracts with vendors, and leveraged user-generated content instead of expensive production.
The campaign delivered 115% of the lead target despite the reduced budget. This approach has since become our standard methodology, saving over $2M annually while improving results."
11. Earn Trust
Example Question: "Describe a time when you had to build trust with a skeptical stakeholder or team."
Response Strategy: Demonstrate how you communicate transparently, follow through on commitments, listen effectively, and show genuine concern for others' interests.
Example Answer: "When I took over a struggling project, the engineering team was skeptical of another leadership change.
Rather than making immediate changes, I spent the first two weeks in one-on-one meetings with each team member, listening to their frustrations and insights. I publicly acknowledged previous leadership mistakes and shared a realistic assessment of our challenges in an all-hands meeting.
I established a practice of weekly progress updates showing exactly where we stood against goals, including honestly reporting my own mistakes.
Within a month, team members began proactively raising issues rather than hiding problems. We ultimately delivered the project successfully, and three engineers who had previously considered leaving mentioned the transparent environment as their reason for staying."
12. Dive Deep
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you needed to dig deep into data or details to solve a problem."
Response Strategy: Show how you question surface appearances, analyze root causes, maintain both strategic perspective and detailed understanding, and use data to inform decisions.
Example Answer: "When our user retention unexpectedly dropped 18%, the initial analysis pointed to a recent UI change. Rather than accepting this surface-level explanation, I personally analyzed the customer journey by segment, reviewing session recordings and conducting cohort analyses.
This detailed investigation revealed the issue actually affected only mobile users in specific regions and correlated with a third-party SDK update. I worked directly with engineers to trace the technical issue through logs and network calls, ultimately identifying a data-loading optimization that created unintended consequences for users with slower connections.
Our targeted fix restored retention rates within two weeks. This experience reinforced my belief that leaders must maintain the ability to dive into details when critical issues arise."
13. Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit
Example Question: "Describe a time when you strongly disagreed with your manager or team but ultimately committed to the decision."
Response Strategy: Demonstrate how you respectfully challenge ideas, provide alternative perspectives backed by data, champion your convictions, and fully commit once decisions are made.
Example Answer: "When our leadership decided to rebuild our platform using a new technology stack, I had serious concerns about the timeline and risk. I prepared a detailed analysis showing specific technical challenges and proposed a phased approach instead. I presented this alternative in our planning meeting, acknowledging the benefits of the original proposal while clearly articulating the risks.
After robust discussion, the CTO decided to proceed with the full rebuild. Once the decision was made, I fully committed to creating a comprehensive risk mitigation plan, establishing additional checkpoint reviews, and supporting team members during the transition.
The project did encounter the challenges I predicted, but my contingency planning helped us adapt quickly, and I never undermined the decision by expressing 'I told you so' sentiments."
14. Deliver Results
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you had to overcome significant obstacles to achieve a goal."
Response Strategy: Show how you focus on key inputs that drive outcomes, maintain high standards despite setbacks, persistently overcome obstacles, and ultimately produce measurable results.
Example Answer: "When leading our company's expansion into Asia, we encountered unexpected regulatory hurdles that threatened our timeline. Rather than waiting for complete regulatory clarity, I identified the critical path requirements and developed parallel work streams to make progress on multiple fronts simultaneously.
When our initial banking partner withdrew, I quickly established relationships with three alternatives to avoid dependency on a single provider. I personally relocated to Singapore for three months to manage the most complex aspects directly.
Despite facing five major obstacles that each could have derailed the project, we launched successfully with just a two-week delay from our original target. The expansion exceeded first-year revenue projections by 30% and became the blueprint for subsequent regional expansions."
15. Strive to be Earth's Best Employer
Example Question: "Describe a time when you took action to improve diversity, inclusion, or employee well-being."
Response Strategy: Demonstrate how you create safe and empowering environments, champion diverse perspectives, address workplace challenges, and proactively improve employee experience.
Example Answer: "I noticed our engineering interview process was producing a homogeneous candidate pool with just 12% female candidates and minimal diversity.
Rather than accepting industry averages as inevitable, I redesigned our hiring process by implementing standardized technical assessments, creating diverse interview panels, establishing clear evaluation criteria, and expanding our recruiting sources beyond traditional channels. I also initiated a returnship program for professionals returning after career breaks.
Within eight months, our technical candidate pool improved to 38% female. It significantly increased racial diversity, while our technical evaluation scores showed the quality of candidates had actually improved. Team surveys indicated a 27% increase in inclusion sentiment, and our retention rate for underrepresented groups improved by 22%."
16. Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility
Example Question: "Tell me about a time when you considered the broader impacts of your work beyond immediate business goals."
Response Strategy: Show how you consider long-term consequences, environmental sustainability, community impact, and ethical implications alongside business objectives.
Example Answer: "When developing our packaging strategy for a new product line, the lowest-cost option involved materials that were not readily recyclable. While this would have optimized for immediate profit margins, I initiated a sustainability impact analysis that considered the full environmental cost.
I brought together our design, supply chain, and finance teams to explore alternatives, ultimately finding a solution using 85% recycled materials that cost only 8% more. I made the business case that this aligned with our company values and would yield long-term benefits through customer loyalty and regulatory compliance.
We implemented the sustainable packaging, highlighting it in our marketing. Customer feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 40% of review comments specifically mentioning the eco-friendly packaging as a purchase factor."
Advanced Amazon LP interview techniques
If you're looking to take things to the next level after mastering the fundamentals, these are some advanced techniques that can help you stand out among well-prepared candidates:
Story adaptability
Develop the ability to repurpose your core stories to address different Amazon LPs by shifting emphasis. This allows you to respond fluently to unexpected questions while maintaining authenticity.
Principle pairing
Amazon interviewers often look for tension between principles. For example, how do you balance "Bias for Action" with "Dive Deep"? Prepare examples that show how you navigate these tensions.
Negative examples
While most candidates focus only on positive experiences, thoughtfully presented negative examples can powerfully demonstrate learning and growth. Prepare stories about mistakes or failures that show your ability to learn and improve.
Data integration
Look for opportunities to weave quantitative metrics throughout your stories—not just in the results section. Amazon's data-driven culture values measurement at all stages.
Question reversal
For each prepared story, practice telling it from multiple angles to address different question formulations. This increases your flexibility during the actual interview.
Post-interview strategy for Amazon LP assessments
Don’t forget; your Amazon LP evaluation doesn't end when the interview concludes. These strategies can help strengthen your candidacy after the interviews:
Follow-up communication
Use your thank-you notes strategically to reinforce key Amazon LPs that may have been underemphasized in your interviews. A thoughtful follow-up can add another dimension to your candidacy.
Reflection and adaptation
If you receive feedback that specific Amazon LPs need strengthening, use the time between interview rounds to develop additional examples that address these areas.
Continued research
Between interview rounds, deepen your understanding of how Amazon LPs apply specifically to your target role or organization through additional research and networking.
FAQs on Amazon LPs
"Do I need to cover all 16 Amazon LPs in my interview preparation?"
Focus most deeply on the 8-10 principles most relevant to your target role. For technical roles, principles like "Dive Deep," "Invent and Simplify," and "Bias for Action" often receive more emphasis.
For management roles, "Hire and Develop the Best," "Earn Trust," and "Think Big" typically get more attention.
"Should I explicitly name the Amazon LPs in my responses?"
No, explicitly naming the principles can seem rehearsed. Instead, demonstrate your understanding through examples that clearly embody the principles. Interviewers are trained to recognize the principles in action.
"How recent should my examples be?"
Generally, more recent examples (within the last 2-3 years) are preferred as they better represent your current capabilities. However, particularly impactful examples from earlier in your career can still be valuable if they demonstrate the principles effectively.
"What if I don't have examples for certain Amazon LPs?"
Everyone has relevant experiences, but you may need to think creatively about how your background translates. Consider examples from academic projects, volunteer work, or side ventures if your professional experience has gaps.
"How are Amazon LP assessments weighted in the hiring decision?"
Leadership Principle alignment is typically weighted equally with technical skills for most roles. In some cases, particularly for leadership positions, LP assessment may even carry more weight than technical evaluation.
Wrapping up
Amazon interview success isn't about memorizing principles—it's about authentically demonstrating how they align with your own professional approach.
The most effective candidates view these interviews as opportunities to showcase genuine leadership capabilities while evaluating mutual fit. Remember that these principles aren't just interview checkpoints but the actual operating framework you'll use daily at Amazon.
By thoroughly preparing relevant examples and internalizing these principles, you'll confidently navigate the interview process. Whether you're just beginning or refining your approach after previous attempts, this guide provides the structure needed to successfully demonstrate your Amazon LP alignment.
