[vapid warren]

Have any of y’all heard back from int? 😭

[celest abyss]

i got auto rej a day after lmao

[gloomy verge]

when did u int

[celest abyss]

day after my int my recruiter emailed me saying id hear back in the next ~5 business days + my 2nd interviewer told me he'd sync with my 1st interviewer today (friday), i interviewed tuesday then got rej wednesday

then i got rej an hour after my recruiter emailed me

holy troll

[gloomy verge]

thats crazy whats ur recruiters initial;s

[celest abyss]

YW

[vapid warren]

That’s actually crazy bro

[vapid warren]

I just had mine today

[celest abyss]

ik shits xrazy

i emailed her to confirm that like i actually got rej bc of what my interviewer said

she said she's gonna follow up with her team lol

so unlucky bro i feel like they had me interview for the wrong position or something like whyd i get asked a non lc technical that's hard af and then i get auto rej in a day 😭

like bruhhh

[coarse mirage]

r u on cooldown then?

[celest abyss]

that's what i was thinking

im prob just blacklisted for summer idk

fcked up

[coarse mirage]

rip

[vapid warren]

Having the ints be so rng based is annoying

[bold wave]

u guys think a team will ask the same question for each candidate

or do u think teams have a pool of questions

[formal geyser]

Shit

They will freeze you for 1 year croos all sde role

[bold wave]

why would they, he didnt do anything wrong

[formal geyser]

That's the dumbest part

Fk zon

[grand lance]

What were hte behavioral questions like ?

Also 2 interviews right?

@celest abyss

@vapid warren

[vapid warren]

im p sure theyre team dependent but make sure to have stories based on the lps

[celest abyss]

yeah first one was more broad behavioral second was team dependent behavioral

[grand lance]

Wdym by team dependent behavioral?

@celest abyss

[celest abyss]

like i got asked a question specifically about my genai experience

and then follouwps

[formal geyser]

Shit Amazon start walk through resume？

[lime mauve]

has literally anyone got the winter offer yet 😭

[gloomy verge]

idts its cooked

[vapid warren]

anyone...?😭

[restive dove]

I optimal solve both problems and still got rej so it’s cooked

[gloomy verge]

how many days after int

[restive dove]

2 business days

[lime mauve]

yea i think the only guy that got anywhere is the one cscd guy saying he got inclined

any1 know if were blacklisted cause of this lol

[vapid warren]

what does that even mean

[restive dove]

Means they said they are probably going to hire him I think

[vapid warren]

ahh

[restive dove]

No idea I applied summer on alternate email still haven’t gotten oa but no blacklist email either

[gloomy verge]

who was ur recruiter?

[restive dove]

KN initials

[gloomy verge]

do u remember interviewer initials

[lime mauve]

its like were "hiring you" but were waiting on financial approval or something

[lime mauve]

i applied on my regular

[restive dove]

Actually interviewer was different from the one on the list they gave, but for the actual interviewer it was AG, and SM initials

[vapid warren]

Hopefully this just means we all getting offers 🤩

[lime mauve]

oh no i got rej alr lol

post final

[vapid warren]

Oh 😞

[restive dove]

Same

The interview felt like it went well too

[lime mauve]

yea lowk winter was a trap the hiring bar is real strict

[restive dove]

I thought they would move to summer tbh if it didn’t go well

But it doesn’t seem like it on the portal

[lime mauve]

idk my recruiter died after i got rej

[vapid warren]

My recruiter wasn’t even alive to begin with 😭

[restive dove]

I never even emailed my recruiter other than to schedule the int

[bold wave]

my interviewer said amazon was going through a whole reorg so I think theyre trying to figure out funding first before giving offers

[grand lance]

For those that did their final interviews - what does it say on your portal?

[bold wave]

No longer under consideration but it was like that even before I had my inerviews
