Applied for a program manager position at Amazon (nontech) and the recruiter reached out with a link to an online assessment as the first step of the interview process. The email said ‘it contains questions around common work scenarios’ has anyone done this before?

Yes common step one, they want to see how you think about situations. Very standard.

Very much common sense business acumen. Always keep the customer in mind, they are first even if the company loses money on the transaction. The keeping a seat open in a meeting to represent the customer in the room is factual, always always think what is best for the customer.
