Anyone got Amazon OA1 recently?

When companies give you dates to choose for interviews, does it look better if you choose an earlier date vs a later date? Or it doesn’t matter?

Is Asana still taking applications for new grad?
stable plume
It really is luck, I got into Google with hardly any leetcode experience because I just practiced hashmaps and got asked two hashmap questions
(and got a referral to get the OA)
You can prepare but at the end of the day some people are gonna win the lottery and get asked questions in topics they excel at
arctic drift
I wonder on average if a Google Employee would be able to pass the interview
like if they did it 100 times
how many times they'd pass
stable plume
One of my hosts said he only did the prep for the interview and is a lifer, the other one does one leetcode a day
So I think it depends on if the person is keeping their skills sharps
I will say tho that the team I worked on cared a lot about optimizing the code both in terms of a small distribution size and in terms of time complexity
So the foundational knowledge leetcode forces you to be familiar with did actually come up

@wind acorn How is that even possible? They haven't even started the process lol
past sable
I meant They haven't interviews for new grads yet
wind acorn
ah
but they could take the majority of new grads from their intern pool (which was huge)
it would be cheaper to just convert interns too since they'd have to burn less engineering time w/ interviewing
but then again it's amazon and they have fat stacks 🤷 hoping that they aren't done hiring though would love to be considered (even tho its likely ill take a fat L when they release results)
wind acorn
honestly the fact that it's cheaper to just convert interns vs. do the whole interview loop is probs why this year's recruiting is so rough.. companies might be looking to cut back on spending and interviewing candidates isn't necessarily the cheapest thing in the world

I know it depends on interest but I am equally inclining to both
no this is for kicking of the interview process

so they will assign me to interview with the team that I pick

ask them which one has an easier interview process

do you like frontend or frontend

or like full stack vs systems

at this time, choose one that you feel that you're good at @languid plaza

ask them which one has an easier interview process
@quick lodge prolly application (cuz frontend) but that means more competition -> more weight on luck

For Amazon rejection, did anyone had to email them for the messed up OA3?

Honestly if you revieW the differences between the names of the data structures in Java and C++ at least one of the questions is doable in C++

A lot of companies are asking OOD/LLD for new grads, but only rarely a new grad comes across it. I think Robinhood might?

Any good resources to prepare for them?
runic kraken
I know hubspot is asking system design for the backend final round
nova maple
not necessarily, they can read your resume after the assessment like robinhood did
@white mesa
Or maybe they realised that the bar was set so low by hiring many ppl in recent years that they are now on course correction

people got perfect scores and were rejected and people in the low 800s were passed through, kind of an odd correction to move along people

they're pretty backed up i think, i have a recruiter call in 2 weeks and there's another round after that

@rigid elbow no, why waste time of candidate if you know you are gonna reject him even if he makes 850
worthy spear
makes sense for them... why waste time reading a resume of someone who cant code
rigid elbow
No I agree, Im just saying it is the most reasonable explanation
cerulean pivot
because its less applications to review

they could give fuck all about your time

a side effect is that it also gets the company name out i guess

@worthy spear so, 750 scorer can code and 842 cant?
daring bough
Robinhood is team dependent, you interview for a specific team. There’s prob some threshold and after you meet that threshold your resume gets sent to teams. If a team likes you, you move on

standardized tests are a metric, no metric should be the only factor lol
rigid elbow
@dreamy mantle Both can obv, esp considering codesignal problems are different for every test takers

660 1st The test-taker is familiar with programming and can write simple code to do some
operations.
710 1st, 2nd The test-taker has good implementation skills, can work with built-in data types and
implement the desired solution. Most tech companies require only these skills for the job.
760 1st, 2nd, 3rd The test-taker has great implementation skills and can develop large applications. The
candidate may not have much experience on solving algorithmic tasks.
810 1st, 2nd, 4th The test-taker has great problem solving skills and can implement ideas that don’t require
too much coding.
840 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th The test-taker has excellent algorithmic, problem-solving as well as implementation skills.
that's interesting, higher doesn't always mean better

on what the company is looking for I guess
I still wouldn't call it standardized

yeah that's fine but 840+ has all 4
random knot
it defeats the point of the test
misty gale
I got 843 and was rejected
random knot
well yea solving all of them is obviously better
rigid elbow
Getting a high score on codesignal does indicate one's good at coding
random knot
ofcourse not
rigid elbow
but if you fit as a nice candidate to rh is a different story
rapid belfry
also questions need to be randomized otherwise ppl can more easily cheat
so it makes comparing scores fuzzier
rigid elbow
Yeah thats why rh and other companies are using codesignal score just as a filter
ones who go above the threshold gets resume screened
misty gale
They earlier had the screen, webcam and microphone recording when I took it. now it' removed too
you couldn't cheat then
rocky spoke
i got 769 and got next round
rapid belfry
you can study past candidates questions, that's the cheating mitigation done using random questions
people got ~720 and next round too apparently
cerulean pivot
im glad that my resume holds weight into the process of being rejected but i can see how for others it can be seen as hard to break into
its a double edged sword

i'd imagine past company and college prestige matters quite a bit on resumes, so that sucks in that way
cerulean pivot
it definitely does but the amount of companies that will give u an opportunity is still non zero
rocky spoke
i think the codesignal score is not very reliable. it takes into account speed as well
cerulean pivot
i think robinhood is a huge edge case solely because the # of applications they have
tidal hazel
yeah, it was like, some 30k apps like, what
cerulean pivot
yeah its nutty

Just got done with MSFT codility
The problem was easier than LC easy but the interviewer was fckn sick
arctic drift
You had codility WITH an interviewer?
arctic drift
Just write in your own IDE and copy paste it into Codility
tepid minnow
I asked him "What is your fav thing about being a part of MSFT"
fleet niche
The first OA is codility + person? Holy shit no wonder they move so slow
tepid minnow
He legit went like, you are in boston, you still don't know much about the tech space because boston is full of finance
I am here in the west coast and we create an actual impact and what not bullshit
fleet niche
That’s a big yikes
tepid minnow
and then he was like I started in the east coast with Goldman in New York
and New York is not that great
fckn egoistic mf
He also cried about the fact that I returned null to check for a base case and did not throw an exception
tepid minnow
I don't think I am moving forward lol
fleet niche
Bruh I have never seen someone throw an exception for a null base case wouldn’t that just prematurely end the recursion stack or am I dumb
tepid minnow
He basically did not have anything to cry about because my code passed all his dumb ass test cases
and thus he ended up crying about throwing a stupid fckn exception
I was like okay bud whatever helps you sleep at night
I didn't say that ofcourse but yeah lol
arctic drift
I don’t think I’ve ever returned an exception for an online test

Moral of the story: The first round is very easy just focus on edge test cases and think it through before answering follow up questions

I think your interviewer was just a troll

I don’t think I’ve ever returned an exception for an online test
@arctic drift EXACTLY my point
