Online Assessment
I just finished taking the Amazon online assessment for a Finance Manager role in Seattle, WA. I knew going in that the questions would be based on the Amazon Leadership Principles but when I watched the videos on the assessment and looked at the questions presented, some of them stumped me. They asked me to rate on a scale of 1-5 on the effectiveness of the potential responses (1 is least effective, 5 is most effective) and for some I wasn't able to choose the ends of the scale and ended up opting for 3/4. How does the hiring manager/HR look at the ones that were scored with a 3/4?
One of the questions asked was: A team member wants you to review his pricing numbers before an important meeting with a director. You catch an error and ask him to fix it. He didn't fix the error and it was pointed out by someone else in the meeting, making the meeting kind of useless. What do you do?
1) Point out during the meeting that you asked him to fix the mistake (I put a 1)
2) Pull him aside after the meeting and schedule a 1on1 as a followup. (I put a 3)
3) Send an email to him, cc the team lead about the mistake (I put a 4)
4) Set up a call with you, him, and the team lead to review (I put a 4)
I'm anxious about passing the assessment.
Thanks in advance.
