Amazon's Product Manager interview process evaluates candidates across four key dimensions: product thinking and strategy, execution and impact, technical collaboration, and alignment with Amazon's 14 Leadership Principles. The Staff-level PM interview is notably rigorous, emphasizing strategic vision, cross-functional influence, and demonstrated impact on large-scale initiatives. The entire process takes 4-6 weeks and includes an initial recruiter screening, technical phone screen, writing assessment, and 5-7 on-site interviews. Each interviewer assesses multiple leadership principles while probing for evidence of ownership, customer obsession, and long-term strategic thinking.[1][4]
