About the assessments

Amazon uses online assessments as one way to help us get to know you better, and we design them to measure key characteristics required for success in a role. Assessments also allow us to assess our applicants consistently and equitably, as every individual is provided with the same experience and information needed to complete the assessment.

If you have a disability and need an accommodation, please let us know.

Work Style Assessment

This assessment is focused on Amazon’s peculiar culture and Leadership Principles, and typically takes 10-25 minutes to complete. In this assessment, we ask you to choose the extent to which a statement represents your work style. For instance, we may ask you which of the two statements "I like for things to be clearly structured,” or “I look forward to the opportunity to learn new things," best describes you. Try not to overthink them or spend too much time on any one question. We want to get to know the authentic you, as there are many types of successful people at Amazon.

Customer Service Job Simulation

This assessment asks you to complete virtual tasks related to the position and typically takes 20 minutes - 1 hour to complete. This involves making decisions based on our Leadership Principles, completing activities critical to success at Amazon, and demonstrating problem-solving, prioritization, and interpersonal abilities.
