Preparation Tips

Quick Note on LPs:

Leadership Principle questions are scenario-based. You’re expected to share specific, personal anecdotes demonstrating how your actions align with the Amazon's principles. Focus on your individual contribution, not your team's. They want to understand what you did, why you did it, and what impact it had.
