Amazon Luxembourg – How to Prepare for Online Assessment for Program Manager Role?

Hi there!

I haven't seen the test, so I can't answer the question directly - hope you'll receive an answer from a candidate here. 

If not, I would recommend two things:

1. Reach back to the recruiter and ask for follow-up details. They are happy to help when they see someone keen and they might even have extra resources to share. 

2. Contact existing consultants who have recently joined and likely went through the test. Ask them what they found particularly helpful in preparing for it.

Hi there,

The Amazon Online Assessment for Program Manager roles usually includes:

• Work Simulation – Scenario-based questions testing prioritization, trade-offs, and stakeholder management, aligned with Leadership Principles
• Work Style Assessment – Personality-style test checking cultural fit and consistency with Leadership Principles
• Technical/Analytical Section – Numerical reasoning, data interpretation, or logic-based tasks
• Writing Exercise (sometimes) – A short, structured response to a business problem

How to prepare:

• Study the Leadership Principles and map past experiences to them
• Practice numerical reasoning/data interpretation (GMAT-style questions work well)
• Review sample work simulations to get comfortable with situational judgment
• Use STAR for any writing task—clear, concise, customer-focused

Traps to avoid:

• Inconsistency across answers
• Overly complex writing—clarity matters
• Forgetting key principles like customer obsession and bias for action

With your consulting background, focus on showing how your structured thinking applies in fast-paced, tech-driven operations.

Happy to help you prep as I've spent over 5 years at Amazon – feel free to reach out.

hey!

The Online Assessment for Program Manager roles typically includes a Work Simulation, Logical Reasoning, and Work Style Assessment. To prepare, practice situational judgment tests and logic-based questions (similar to SHL or Korn Ferry formats). Align your choices with Amazon's Leadership Principles—especially Ownership, Bias for Action, and Customer Obsession. Read each question carefully, stay consistent with your values, and avoid overthinking. Your consulting background will help—focus on structured thinking, prioritization, and clear communication.

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the invitation from Amazon!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your questions:

• Rather than trying to gather snippets of information in this forum, I would strongly advise you to reach out to the recruiter, as they are the only ones who will know the exact contents of the current pre-interview assessment.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Glassdoor is a good source of information for those types of questions. In any case, reach out to the recruiter and ask for more information.
