Toronto, ONPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

The first step was an online, scenario-based assessment that focused on what I would do in certain situations.

It was tied to Amazon’s Leadership Principles, so the way I framed my decisions mattered more than just choosing an option. I also had to be careful about applying to the right locations, since they expected the Toronto and Vancouver paths.

After that assessment, the process moved toward an offer decision. I did end up receiving an offer. The overall feel was that it was fairly streamlined and not overly complicated, and the “work-like” simulation format made the Leadership Principles connection pretty clear.
