Ask for Amazon phone screen instead of a test?

May 4, 2020 7 Comments

I have received an Amazon online test, do you think the recruiter would schedule for a phone screen if I ask for one?

I'm not particularly good at online tests, so want to increase my chances of clearing the screen.

Appreciate any suggestions how to get a phone screen.

    The online test is terrible. Problems had some weird wording and wasn't clear about some things which took away valuable time. My recruiter told me beforehand that some people have had issues with the wording.
    Compiler is slow, and they aren't clear about which libraries are included, or what you can manually include. Debugging via output is limited.

    I recommend doing a phone screen if you can.

    I was given the option when I interviewed, made the mistake of doing the online test.

    Isn’t the online test much easier than a phone screen?

      You spend most of your time importing and figuring out what versions of compilers / SDKs their tests have. They don't tell you beforehand.
