This post is a part of a series. This post summarizes the Amazon leadership principle / behavioral interviews. I also have a post on the Amazon technical / functional interviews, and a post on the overall Amazon interview and hiring process.

Update: 7/1/2021 — Amazon announced today that they created two new Leadership Principles. This documents non-project related behaviors we expect from our leaders. I’ve updated this article to walk through these new principles.

Update: 6/8/2021 — I’ve continued to have weekly contacts from people who have said that this article has helped them get a position at Amazon. Recruiters from Amazon continue to send this article to new candidates, saying that it is clear which candidates have read the article, and which haven’t. I’ve repeatedly revisited this article to ensure that it’s up to date, and believe it’s an excellence resource.
