If your experience differs, [tell us here](https://www.aced.io/questions/contribute). The Amazon product manager interview emphasizes past work measured against Amazon’s **16 Leadership Principles**. Product design and strategy cases play a smaller role than in many other PM loops. Recruiters commonly identify which Principles the loop will focus on, but rarely map them to individual interviewers. Interviewers typically spend much of each round on follow-ups, so prepare every example deeply enough to defend its numbers. ## Amazon product manager interview process The process has four stages: 1. **Recruiter screen:** A 30-minute call about your background, motivation, and fit. 2. **Hiring manager conversation:** A discussion of the team’s open challenges, often also serving as interview preparation. 3. **Written assessment:** In some loops, a 2–3 page behavioral memo due within roughly 48 hours. 4. **Final loop:** 4–5 interviews lasting 45–60 minutes each. Each covers a different set of Leadership Principles, and one is led by a Bar Raiser from outside the hiring team. Amazon prohibits candidates from using generative AI tools during any interview. You acknowledge the policy before the first round; using an AI assistant during an interview can result in disqualification. Amazon’s process is team-dependent rather than standardized across the company. Some teams schedule the full loop over **2 consecutive days**, while others spread the same rounds over several weeks. Confirm the details of your own loop with your recruiting team. ## Recruiter and hiring manager screens The screening stage consists of two separate calls before the loop: one with a recruiter and one with the hiring manager. Both take place over **Amazon Chime**, and neither is scheduled until the recruiter has your availability for the full loop. The remainder of this guide is member-only.
