Overview
We encourage you to complete all sections of the assessment in one session. Once the 105-minute Coding Challenge timer starts, it doesn’t stop – even if you exit. If you need to take a break, the best time to do it is after the Coding Challenge. You don’t need to exit the assessment to take a quick break between sections. If you do exit out of the assessment, your work will be saved. When you return, you will start from where you left off. Remember, you must complete all 2 sections below before we can consider you for a Software Development Engineer role.
-
Coding Challenge: this timed section takes 105 minutes; work through 2 coding problems and explain your approach.
-
Amazon Work Style Survey: typically takes 7 minutes; answer questions about how you approach work in general
Once you’ve completed the assessment, you’ll see a confirmation screen verifying that all your responses have been received. Then, you’ll complete a 1 minute Feedback Survey.
