Amazon Leadership Principles - Customer Obsession
Which version of this answer is strongest? The story: A customer was unhappy with a product defect. The candidate took action to resolve it. Option A: "I noticed a product defect reported by customers. I escalated it to the quality team. They fixed the issue and customer satisfaction improved." Option B: "We saw the product defect and worked together to find a solution. We implemented changes and customer complaints decreased." Option C: "I found a defect outside my immediate team and took initiative to investigate. I identified the root cause and coordinated a fix. The defect rate dropped significantly." Option D: "During routine checks, I spotted a 2% defect rate increase in our product line. I traced the cause, developed a fix, and led the rollout. Defect rate returned to baseline, protecting customer trust."

Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Identify scope boundary -- 'outside my immediate team' in C and 'product line' in D ->
  2. Step 2: Check for individual ownership -- 'I' used throughout in C and D, 'we' in B dilutes ->
  3. Step 3: Look for specific metric -- '2% defect rate increase' and 'defect rate returned to baseline' in D, vague in C ->
  4. Step 4: Confirm During routine checks, I spotted a 2% defect rate increase in our product line. I traced the cause, developed a fix, and led the rollout. Defect rate returned to baseline, protecting customer trust. is strongest by all signals combined.
