what questions were you asked

#

do you have to do well in the bar raiser to get the job? or is it more so to place u

#

I think if bar raiser doesn’t like you they can over rule decision by other interviewers

What is bar raiser

brazen totem
#

from my understanding this is the most important interview if anything, if you get it. i dont think everyone gets one because bar raisers will never ask leetcode and some people report getting leetcode in all 3 interviews

#

but they are specifically trained interviewers from anywhere in the org who just grill you on behavioral

#

if they dont like you they can veto your hire even if your other interviewers really like you is my understanding

oh interesting

#

the word bar raiser just sounds like its for placement or smth

#

lolol

brazen totem
#

its because the rule at amazon is they only want to hire you if you meet the "bar" of being better than at least 50% of people in similar roles currently at the company, and so the interviewer by determining whether to hire you is "raising the bar"
