Prepare for Amazon Management Assessments with JobTestPrep

Amazon’s hiring process for management positions includes rigorous tests and interviews. These assessments evaluate various skills, such as situational judgement, work-related behaviors, numerical reasoning, and leadership potential. Candidates are expected to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities, align with Amazon’s Leadership Principles, and effectively communicate their thought processes. The process is designed to identify individuals who can thrive in a fast-paced, data-driven environment and make impactful decisions that drive the business forward.

The Amazon Assessment for Area Manager & Operations Manager roles consists of several sections, each evaluating a different aspect of the managerial requirements. In our PrepPack you will find practise tests and study guides for all these sections:

• Working With the Team – sharpens your understanding and application of Amazon’s Leadership Principles while enhancing your critical thinking and decision-making skills.
• Working With Metrics – boosts your numerical reasoning and data interpretation abilities, equipping you to tackle metrics-based challenges.
• Planning for the Team - hones your prioritisation skills, ensuring you can effectively balance tasks while applying Amazon’s Leadership Principles.
• Work Style Assessment – helps you align with Amazon’s unique culture, evaluating your work style and adaptability according to the company’s standards.
• Work Experience – guides you in demonstrating the qualities and responses expected of successful managers at Amazon.

Our PrepPack is crafted based on extensive research and insights gathered from hundreds of Amazon candidates, ensuring the practise materials accurately reflect the assessment requirements.

The assessment features 7-8 scenarios (7 for Operations Managers and 8 for Area Managers), each reflecting real-life challenges and situations that managers may face on the job. It evaluates your critical thinking, judgement, and decision-making abilities, as well as your application of Amazon’s 16 Leadership Principles. There is no time limit for completing each scenario, but once you move forward, you cannot go back to previous scenarios.

This section is exclusive to the Operations Manager and Pathways assessments and does not appear in the Area Manager assessment. It features 10 scenarios related to workplace situations, each presented with a 5-point multiple-choice scale. Your task is to choose the most suitable and effective responses that align with Amazon’s culture and Leadership Principles.

Requiring a meticulous application of Amazon’s Leadership Principles, the “Planning for the Team” section is one of the most challenging parts of the Operations Manager assessment. You’ll also need to navigate three judgement scales: Managing Objectives, People Management, and Corporate Management.

This personality test centres on Amazon’s culture and Leadership Principles, taking about 15-20 minutes to complete. For each question, you’ll choose between two statements, selecting the one that best reflects your preferences and the approach you take to everyday work tasks.

This module consists of 12-16 ranking questions designed to assess various aspects of your professional background, including practical experience, skills, and competencies relevant to the role. While there is no time restriction for completing the questions, it is advisable to answer them promptly and avoid overthinking each response, as the goal is to reflect your natural preferences and experiences. This approach ensures a more accurate evaluation of your qualifications and alignment with the position.

Once you clear the Area Manager or Operations Manager assessments (including Pathways), the next step is a series of 2-4 interviews. For Area Managers, one interview typically includes a Maths Flow question, while Operations Managers may face both a Maths Flow question and a Written Exercise. These interviews are designed to evaluate your problem-solving skills, job-specific math abilities, and communication skills, ensuring you’re ready for the challenges at an Amazon Fulfilment Centre.

The Maths Flow problem can appear during phone or on-site interviews and tests your ability to perform calculations relevant to the fulfilment centre environment. For example, you might be asked to determine production output based on staffing levels and shift breaks. Additionally, candidates for L6-level roles and above, such as Operations Managers, are required to complete a 2-4 page written exercise before the on-site interview. This writing sample assesses your ability to communicate effectively, an essential skill for the role. To prepare for the interviews, review Amazon’s Leadership Principles, incorporating them into your responses.
