Applying for multiple Amazon roles

Hi! Is there any downside in applying to more then one role at a company like Amazon? I'm a PM looking to make a move. I found several roles I'm interested in and wondering if being referred for several at once decreases my chances of being interviewed. Thank you!

Definitely apply for more positions if they're in different areas or teams. Recruiting is very fractured by org structure.

Thank you. So, if more then one team is interested in you, you can interview for more then one role at once?

They did split loops when I was there. If more than 2 hiring managers phone screen you and want to interview, they might make you choose the 2 roles you're more interested in for a split loop.

apply for as many roles as you think are relevant. each org's recruiting team is like a silo. they can see that you have applied to other roles, but they don't think anything of it unless those roles are in the same function and you are interviewed and rejected from those roles.

I think they will combine to a single interview and you can apply for two teams at most.

Definitely, Amazon is more like Microsoft instead of general hires like Google and Facebook.
