Amazon Process

[lofty light]

thursday afternoon

[meager venture]

check ur portal tonight, if u get rejected email is pretty much instant

so refreshing portal aint gonna help

set up notification for email and check every time it shows up

[calm niche]

ooooof. got interview today

[meager venture]

gl

[calm niche]

thnk you!!

ended up doing an interview for cloud support because i didn't know, killed the behavioral.

[lofty light]

okay so if I'm rejected I'll def know very ealy lol

[calm niche]

i know i can smoke LP today on this interview.

[meager venture]

yea like u will know it from email not portal

[calm niche]

technical

[lofty light]

I'm more refreshing praying for the "virtual location"

[meager venture]

what timezone r u in?

est?

[lofty light]

EST

ye

[meager venture]

so check again at 5

if nothing by then check at 10 PM

[lofty light]

do they only have the two rounds of rejections?

i.e. if I'm safe by 10 pm I most likely got it?

my heart can't take this stress

[meager venture]

nah some ppl got rejected after a week

[lofty light]

fuk

aight cool

can't wait to die

[meager venture]

usually quick but still could be a rejection

[lofty light]

they said 5 business days in the email

so I'm out here until thursday praying

[meager venture]

usually safe after 2 business days

but that's just the ppl that fucked up

[lofty light]

?

[meager venture]

like u did decent so its not a imitated rejections, but other ppl prob did better so u end up not getting it

[lofty light]

ohhh I get it

I'm hoping I did well enough at this point lol

do they take into account everything holistically when deciding

or are the OAs + referral basically irrelevant for the final decision

and are just used to determine who gets a final

[meager venture]

Irrelevant

At this point just the interviewer’s review

[lofty light]

eyyy lit

can't wait to die

[covert kayak]

is amazon gonna be in person for summer 2022

[grand nebula]

Any one get portal change?

[timber pumice]

Not yet

[spring eagle]

there might be a cooldown

if u just applied

[spring eagle]

pretty sure

[trim summit]

how fast does amazon usually respond after a final?

i heard that for vancouver it's really quick?

[grand nebula]

Amazon propel

[pale sonnet]

My portal was updated just now, I had my interview on Wednesday

[grand nebula]

SAME

It says virtual location - new york

[pale sonnet]

Did you apply to new york or somewhere else?

[grand nebula]

I put that as a preference

[pale sonnet]

Niceeeee

[trim summit]

Grats!

[grand nebula]

Does that mean i got it?

[trim summit]

i mean

i think so

what everyone said earlier is that if you have a location change you got it (?)

[grand nebula]

@covert crown

[pale sonnet]

Most likely, I heard a official offer comes in a day after

[trim summit]

or well an update (?)

[lofty light]

wait so my app just updated

to virtual location

massachusetts

does that mean I got it?

[grand nebula]

tahts what people saying

[obtuse mountain]

Yep

Congrats guys

[hoary tree]

Congratulations everyone!

[covert crown]

yes

congrats

🙏

[grand nebula]

Thanks! and is that location where they placed you?

[meager venture]

check yall portal

my friend portal just change

[desert kiln]

yooo congrats

im telling you, does wonders

[covert crown]

oh naw br oim in VAN

LIVING IT UP ON THE WEST COAST LETS GO BOIS

[lofty light]

I got Boston lol

[grand nebula]

Oh so the location it says is where they placed you?

[lofty light]

yeah

I'm wondering if I can change locations lmao

@desert kiln have you gotten the official offer yet?

[covert crown]

I managed to change dates/sessions but to change locations you need to essentially decline and reapply

but u can always email and see if they'll lowe u

[lofty light]

do they do a whole new application process?? that seems a bit extreme for a location change lol

[covert crown]

yeah that's what I heard from like reddit posts and shii

some of my friends got an email that essentially said that but again, you should email them

cause im in cad

[lofty light]

yeah I plan on doing that once I get the official offer letter lol

[covert crown]

[lofty light]

can I change the full time placement? like if I do boston for an internship can I ask to be moved to seattle or smth lmao

I would prefer to not be in boston lol it has a relatively high COL

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/804409444741939200.png?size=80&size=40

[desert kiln]

got it last week

[grand nebula]

how long is it from portal change to offer letter?

[desert kiln]

1 day

around 12pm pst i think

[lofty light]

okay thank god

I'll get something tomorrow then lol

that's the hope at least lol

[desert kiln]

u prob will dwdw

[grand nebula]

thanks

[lofty light]

thankksssss

is it a matter of having my cake and eating it too if I start prayging for a location change after prayging for amazon lol

[trim summit]

please prayge for my final to go well

[lofty edge]

I got Boston too but had it as a preference. and dude if you think boston has a high COL unless you're switching to like texas it's not gonna be much different

[lofty light]

I gotchu bro

[lofty light]

I didn't put preferences aside from seattle I think lol

[lofty light]

but if I stick with boston can I reach out regarding what your plans are lol

[strange oxide]

[desert kiln]

do you know the difference in COL of boston vs seattle? is it really that drastic? I thought seattle's COL was comparable to Bay area's

[hearty sable]

what does a rejection for amazon look like on the portal?

i had another application added on my portal and the original one says "moved to another job"

the new one has my priority location but it doesn't say virtual location - "blah blah"

just the location

[lofty edge]

It's not that drastic, that's what I was saying. Boston vs. Seattle is comparable. You'd only get a discount if you were going to like Texas or Georgia or smth. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&country2=United+States&city1=Boston%2C+MA&city2=Seattle%2C+WA

[lofty edge]

that means you got it, congrats

Congrats to all who got offers today

[trim summit]

[floral quarry]

Hi

[lofty light]

waiting on mine lol, hope they send it asap so I can do stuff with it

[floral quarry]

Has any international students received Amazon offer?

[grand nebula]

Same, you know if they email it or is it through the portal?

[lofty light]

email

the portal being updated to virtual location is just them noting they're accepting us or smth ahead of time I think

we should be getting it in the next couple of days I just need it to be quicker lmao

[desert kiln]

prob in a few hours. i got mine 12:30pm PST

[lofty light]

last friday?

[desert kiln]

[lofty edge]

[hoary tree]

Congrats guys! 🔥🔥

[desert kiln]

[obtuse mountain]

[grand nebula]

yep same

anyone know how to change start date and end date?

[winged edge]

had interview today

how long should i expect to take to know if i got expected or rejected

[obtuse mountain]

Default is like June to September, but I've heard after you accepted ur offer they let you pick a start date

[grand nebula]

I see

[grand nebula]

3-4 business days

I interviewed thursday and got portal change monday

[split isle]

bruh everybody comes in and asks the exact same question

[trim summit]

final today

[obtuse mountain]

[pure ermine]

[hoary tree]

[meager venture]

[trim summit]

oh man that was weird

.-.

[vocal snow]

How'd it go?

[meager venture]

damn early final

[meager venture]

how was it

[trim summit]

idk

the questions were kinda weird?

behavioural thing but a tricky one I didn't like

so i finished in 30 minutes instead of 45 minutes

i'm just confused lol

idk if that's a good sign or not to end in 30 minutes instead of the full allotted 45

[vocal snow]

Doesnt sound too bad?

[meager venture]

how was the vibe of the interview

[vocal snow]

^?

[trim summit]

vibe seemed alright?

[meager venture]

cuz i think that matters a lot

[vocal snow]

Also did u apply US or Canada?

[trim summit]

i got the interviewer to smile/laugh a lil

but idk if that's anything lol

vancouver

so canada

[meager venture]

that a good sign

[vocal snow]

O

I think u just set the bar for mine later

[trim summit]

oop

lol

it's pre easy ig?

idk

i'm confused

[vocal snow]

But you solved technical which is good

[meager venture]

it all depends on if your interviewer likes you

[trim summit]

yeah..

i really hope my interviewer liked me

; (

[vocal snow]

[trim summit]

at least i'll find out if i'm rejected soon

[vocal snow]

24hrs usually

i believe in u

[trim summit]

ty

i don't even know now lol

i feel like that interview wasn't great

[pastel dawn]

We're all in this together

Been refreshing all morning

[desert kiln]

[hoary tree]

Weird stuff is going on with my application. I gave OA2 yesterday and received a mail today that I've been selected to give the sde assessment which is due on 18th Oct (today's 20th)
And then when I checked my portal today, my application was moved to "no longer under consideration". What does it even mean? Am I rejected?

[spring eagle]

if ur portal only says no longer under considerstion then its a rejection :^(

[trim summit]

@vocal snow how did your interview go?

[vocal snow]

It went pretty well imo was vibing with the interviewer and solved the technical

[trim summit]

oh nice

who was your iterviewer?

[vocal snow]

I think initials was like k. something I forgot lol

[trim summit]

oop

lmaoo

hag on

hang o*

hang o

okay my n key is broke

n

bruh

[hoary tree]

Yeah I got the official rejection mail as well :(

Have my facebook phone coming up, I hope I don't screw that up :((

[spring eagle]

its ok head up king you got facebook :)

[hoary tree]

Scared about that

[trim summit]

[vocal snow]

[lofty light]

congrats to everyone who got an offer, and to those who didn't, don't worry! you worked really hard to get to where you are, and you shouldn't feel like your efforts are wasted because they are not. you'll get a great job, I'm sure of it (you wouldn't be in a server grinding your ass off otherwise)

if anyone has any questions about the process or wants to reach out, feel free

[desert kiln]

[hollow vigil]

does anyone know if you can move amazon propel to winter?

[trim summit]

[pure ermine]

Prep for final with b75 + Amazon tagged?

And LP stories of course.

[trim summit]

yeah, basically

don't be surprised if they ask weird questions that aren't altogether related tho

it's really rng

spend a bit of time reviewing your data structures in general

[pure ermine]

focus more on b75 or amazon tagged if I’m in a time crunch?

[trim summit]

for the final it's super rng

personally i'd say b75 because that gives you a broader area of understanding so there's a higher chance you might be able to do the question

but it like

really just depends

[pure ermine]

Thanks. Appreciate the advice!

[trim summit]

take what i'm saying with a grain of salt

my personal experience in the final is wildly different from other's people's experiences

[pure ermine]

Yeah I get what you’re saying.

Doing just amazon tagged means banking in the interviewer asking the same type of question.

b75 is bfs pretty much

[trim summit]

you just need to

[vocal snow]

[split isle]

yeah b75 is better to study

amazon tagged is probably taken over mostly by OA questions rather than technicals

[spring eagle]

keep in mind for technical they can literally ask ANY question they want

[desert kiln]

Prob also study a bit of OOD, meaning just know your data structures

[obtuse mountain]

How many hours per day should I expect to work for Amazon internship

I've heard somebody said 10

I was like wtf

[desert kiln]

they be preparing you for new grad work life

but i mean, we're getting paid 8.5K per month, so ig balance your hours however youd like?

[obtuse mountain]

What would the 8.5k be after tax

[surreal prism]

Depends on location

Go look at tax calculator

[desert kiln]

if you work 40 hours for 3 days straight, you'd be done with work for the entire week 🤷

[surreal prism]

I did that for a job once

Just work like 3 12 hour days

[pure ermine]

What’s the dress code for Amazon final?

[forest inlet]

shirt and boxers

[pure ermine]

So plain t-shirt?

[forest inlet]

ya

[hollow vigil]

My interviewer for final was very casual

[surreal prism]

shirt and boxers?

damn bro

I was gonna go commando

[covert crown]

mf start and end date changed bois

we maKING BANK THIS SUMMER

[regal sierra]

i had my interview last monday

when should i expect to hear back?

[surreal prism]

Who here got LC medium or easy on final

Just trying to find out what my odds are

[forest inlet]

got easy med

[surreal prism]

Ok cool

I'm gonna do some LC Amazon problems tonight

[split isle]

yeah it’s easy/medium

[obtuse mountain]

You mean like 10.11?

Or 10.18

[regal sierra]

18

[hollow vigil]

Mine was LC easy but interviewer then modified the problem to make it LC Medium

[trim summit]

[pure ermine]

[vocal snow]

[surreal prism]

I hope I get an easy

[covert crown]

prayers that all the cscareers homies get the big zon

[obtuse mountain]

[surreal prism]

What was the offer rate

For people with final

[obtuse mountain]

I've heard around 50%

[surreal prism]

Dang

Hopefully that means I have a good shot if I get final

[manic dew]

a lot more people are getting rejected now

[surreal prism]

Aw fuck man

Well I'm open to Fall Winter too

Maybe that will help me some

As long as I get a medium or easy I think I'll be ok

[gilded merlin]

@trim summit @pastel dawn when did you apply and when did you get the oa

?

[trim summit]

Sep 27 apply-> Oct 2 OA -> final invitation 13th

[pastel dawn]

Aug 11 applied -> OA Sep 22

[trim summit]

[obtuse mountain]

Expect to see it around 6:30pm CDT

[regal sierra]

Did you interview last Monday?

I did, no update yet

[trim summit]

Is that usually the time of update?

[gilded merlin]

applied on 17 sept still no update (Junior) i am going to get ghosted or is their still some hope ?

[pastel dawn]

Ye on the same boat

[pastel dawn]

I emailed the SDE interview email this morning

[obtuse mountain]

Yep at least for 10/11 we all got the update around that time

[regal sierra]

ooo my deadline for my other company is on Friday hopefully they respond soon

[trim summit]

no update yet 😦

[regal sierra]

Same

Wack

[surreal prism]

Does under review mean final incoming or what

[trim summit]

not much

it's just the default one they have you under i think

kif you have a final coming it'll say it

[surreal prism]

Frick

I thought OA was basically automatic process

But I guess not

[obtuse mountain]

My bad

Just be patient good news will come

Tbh if you were to be rejected they'd do it in the morning

I'm not 100% sure about that but that is what happened the week before last week

[trim summit]

back to praying

[obtuse mountain]

[trim summit]

WAIT

IS THE PORTAL CHANGE HAVING ANOTHER 'APPLICATION SUBMITTED' APPEAR?

@regal sierra @pastel dawn check portal?

i'm not sure but my portal changed with another 'application submitted' and i sure as hell didn't submit another application

[pastel dawn]

Portal is still the same, but a recruiter called me today

[trim summit]

ah

did you get the spot then?

[pastel dawn]

Ye boi

[trim summit]

NICE

congrats!!!

I (think) this means I got it?

[lofty edge]

ya

congrats

[trim summit]

TY!!

[regal sierra]

uhh no update on mine but congrats if true

[lofty edge]

thats how portal looks when u get it, offer letter comes in next day

[trim summit]

lets go!!!

[trim summit]

oh 😦

technology got a recruiter call so maybe that's how it'll go for you

[regal sierra]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

maybe i'll email the amazon email as well

[obtuse mountain]

Yes another submitted app means offer

Congrats dude

[trim summit]

tyyy!!!

[hollow vigil]

Got the portal change 😳

[vocal snow]

Same

Congrats!!

[hollow vigil]

Congrats!!!

Mine moved to "Amazon Propel Program (APP) Intern - Greater Seattle Area", anyone else in propel?

[vocal snow]

You applied for propel?

[hollow vigil]

Yeah

[vocal snow]

Icic

[hollow vigil]

Before my application name in the portal was Amazon Propel Program (APP) Internship – Summer 2022 (US)

[vocal snow]

Everythings normal then

Cuz apparently some ppl applied for SDE and got propel instead

[hollow vigil]

Ooooooo

Yeah I got rejected from SDE earlier so I applied to propel

[vocal snow]

Ah I see

Well from what I know propel and SDE is pretty similar but propel u have 2 weeks of training or something

Don't quote me on that tho

[hollow vigil]

That's perfect I need the training

[vocal snow]

Are you freshman/sophomore?

[hollow vigil]

Junior

[vocal snow]

o hm nvm then

Cuz propel replaced their future engineers program which was for freshman/sophomore

But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

[hollow vigil]

Interesting, yeah no I'm not

[vocal snow]

either way its an amazon internship

[pure ermine]

[gilded merlin]

[vocal snow]

[trim summit]

[scarlet echo]

if i didnt get an update yday and i had my final on tuesday last week, does that mean i got rejected

or is there still hope

[regal sierra]

same, except i interviewed last monday

i don't know if they reject earlier or not, hard to say

someone from my school said "mine was under review for 2 weeks lol idk why but eventually i got portal update and offer" so ig there's some hope

[scarlet echo]

Damn

Really bringing out the hopium

[gilded merlin]

[vocal snow]

Don't think amazon ghosts after final, so still hope if no formal rejection or portal rejection

[regal sierra]

yeah idk how quickly they reject post final interview so idk if not hearing back is bad or not

[vocal snow]

Usually within 24hrs if you're a hard reject

[regal sierra]

I see, but like no response after 5 biz days is also kinda weird

[vocal snow]

Definitely an outlier

Maybe send an email

[regal sierra]

Oh yeah I did

[regal sierra]

but uh idk what it means

[vocal snow]

just wait i guess

the recruiter responsible for ur application prob just got really busy

[regal sierra]

yep 😰

[vocal snow]

i dont want to give false hope but usually not rejected early is a good thing

[regal sierra]

still no update from today 😔

[scarlet echo]

^

[thorny shell]

@hollow vigil you applied to propel after failing sde intern? did you have to do an interview?

at what point did you fail sde intern

[hollow vigil]

I got rejected after submitting OA2

Yes I had to do an interview

[thorny shell]

i just got rejected after sde final

really hoping propel pulls through for me

@hollow vigil how long after reject did you get propel interview request

[hollow vigil]

I applied to Propel on the same day I received the rejection

Received email i was moving forward 4 days later

2 days later got the interview request

[thorny shell]

i see, yeah i applied the day i got rejected as well

got it, so relatively fast

you got offer right?

[hollow vigil]

Yeah

[thorny shell]

congrats homie

thanks for the context

[hollow vigil]

For sure, good luck!!

[hollow vigil]

they encourage URM to apply to Propel but I don't think you have to be

[pure ermine]

[thorny shell]

@hollow vigil can I ask if you are a URM?

[scarlet echo]

[thorny shell]

yeah I have a feeling that URM may get response priority

[gilded merlin]

[naive wharf]

i have my oa1 soon .. i've barely done any lc questions ..

does the list on algo monster help? or should i stick with lc tagged amazon questions

[split isle]

lc raged and blind 75

[gilded merlin]

@naive wharf lucky you have an oa 😭

[regal sierra]

I think I’m getting ghosted even tho I thought Amazon doesn’t ghost

Rip

[scarlet echo]

O

Maybe ur recruiter sucks balls

U got this

[regal sierra]

i just don't understand why mine is still underreview after like 9 business days and everyone else hears back within 5 days

[gilded merlin]

@regal sierra under review for 1.5 months now

dont worry lets hope and pray

[regal sierra]

after final interview?

god damn

[gilded merlin]

Oh I thought you meant after app is submitted nvm

They don’t ghost after that

You should hear back from them in a bit

How long did it take for you to get oa1

[candid sky]

I submitted mine about three weeks ago, but this is for Canada

Not sure if it makes a difference

Application submitted Sep 6, no status change yet

does this mean im not gonna get OA this year too ?

[gilded merlin]

[pure ermine]

[pure ermine]

Bombed coding question on Amazon final. I'm prob donezo. Good luck brothers and sisters.

[hollow vigil]

never say never! how'd you do on LPs?

[obtuse mountain]

[trim summit]

i thought all of my question answers were mediocre at best but i got the offer

there's still a chance!

[pure ermine]

Aced LPs but the coding question killed me

[pure ermine]

I mean I didn't even answer the question lol. We spent all the time just talking conceptually how to approach the problem.

Apparently, I actually did the problem before but it was 2 months ago.

[trim summit]

oh 😦

a lot of it is based off your conceptual understanding tho

so

there's still a chance

[pure ermine]

He asked a conceptual technical question before. So I need LPs + conceptual technical to carry my coding question

[lofty light]

Officially accepted amazon

Thanks for the wild ride guys, can’t wait to be back here grinding for next year lmfao

[obtuse mountain]

Dude will u also be in Seattle?

[hollow vigil]

Just to provide a counterpoint I know someone who did great on LPs but wasn't able to implement a solution. They still got an Amazon offer.

[pure ermine]

That’s pretty much my situation. I appreciate the encouragement.

I don’t know if they literally just had almost nothing typed though. lol

[hollow vigil]

They look at your app holistically. Don't give up yet

[pure ermine]

I think I did decently well on OA2. OA1 was meh because only solved q1.

If I get an offer somehow, it’s going to be from my LPs.

[obtuse mountain]

I think if u interciewed today u can expect to see the result next Monday

@pure ermine

[pure ermine]

For better or worse, yeah prob Monday

[obtuse mountain]

Prayge for u

[pure ermine]

Appreciate it bro

Maybe crushing LPs, having simp in my name and prayers will carry me through

[naive wharf]

any tips for oa2?

[gilded merlin]

[candid sky]

basically just review LPs and brush up on Java/JUnit caus theres a debugging section as well

I did both the LC problem and all test cases passed and OA2 was decent.

[pure ermine]

2 weeks from OA2 seems to be standard

[ivory fjord]

yeah I got 2 weeks later

[foggy tree]

Ohh okay, Cool. Thanks 👍🏻

[gilded merlin]

[candid sky]

did anyone just receive a qualtrics survey after finishing the interview last week?

[icy crow]

Yes

It says it's sent to everyone

[livid owl]

Same here

[obtuse mountain]

Somebody reported Amazon portal change

Time to check ur portals?

[naive wharf]

It did

[obtuse mountain]

How did it change like one extra application?

And a location

[trim summit]

Is that a good thing?

[faint kernel]

when did u guys interview?

[icy crow]

Last thurs

[faint kernel]

apparently yeah

[fierce spear]

how do you know?

[faint kernel]

that's what people say in reddit and discord

no firsthand knowledge though

[trim summit]

yes, from firsthand knowledge

you got it!

congrats!

[icy crow]

omg I still don

dont want to get my hopes up

Mood: Refresing the page every 5 min 🥴

[icy crow]

wym

[livid owl]

Anyone that interviewed on friday got a portal change?

[naive grove]

does anyone have the link to amazon intern discord?

[fast sparrow]

no, interviewed 10/29 no change

[fast sparrow]

why 10pm

[scarlet echo]

The times r pretty random

I got mine at like 6 pm pst

[tropic meadow]

https://discord.gg/NxWFQWFu

[pastel obsidian]

i interviewed 10/28, got portal change 5:30pm PST today

[naive grove]

do all the portal changes say virtual - washington, washington? does this mean we'll be in seattle area, or would it change to a different location after the official offer

[obtuse mountain]

That means seattle

[royal kestrel]

when do we get our teams?

is it fair to ask our recruiter?

[meager venture]

30-60 days before u start

[meager venture]

usually the latest time portal changes

[royal kestrel]

damn so you cant ask before you sign what youll actually be doing?

[obtuse mountain]

Yep

[royal kestrel]

so you could literally get placed on a frontend team?

thats scary

[obtuse mountain]

[royal kestrel]

do you get any say or nah

[obtuse mountain]

idk

[pure ermine]

Got my rejection email. Some of you might have portal updates(for offers hopefully).

[spring eagle]

portal change to another job is 100% offer

@pastel obsidian congrats :))

[icy crow]

What does it change to after "application submitted"?

[spring eagle]

what

[icy crow]

The status

The status of the application says "application submitted". If I get an offer what should it say?

[spring eagle]

moved to another job

[hollow vigil]

If you have an offer, they essentially change the status of your current job application to "moved to another job" and they create a new job application (it will have a different job title) and change that status to "application submitted".

you will be able to see both in your portal

[hollow vigil]

does anyone know the conversion rate for amazon interns?

[obtuse mountain]

I used to see ppl saying 60% online like in reddit

But recently a former intern I know said 85%

So I'm not sure

[hollow vigil]

85% is as good as lyft

so that's pretty good

[obtuse mountain]

Don't worry bro at least u got Wells Fargo

[hollow vigil]

considering they're hiring 10000+ interns lol

[pure ermine]

I’m disappointed but I know it was on me. Fucked up an LC easy that I had last done 2 months ago apparently lol.

Trying for amazon robotics. I’ll see how that goes.

[hollow vigil]

keep your head up! you got this. good luck on robotics

[obtuse mountain]

It just happens, doing lc in interviews is different from doing lc on your own

Bro I got 849 codesignal gca so I suppose I am at least "good" at doing lc

But in real interviews my brain just sucks and I can be fked up by some normal med questions

[pure ermine]

I slacked off for a week or two before receiving the final invite because I was catching up on midterms.

So it was my fault for not keeping it fresher.

[obtuse mountain]

[pure ermine]

Irony is that I could have done k sorted lists(hard) no problem lmao

And certain meds

[obtuse mountain]

Head up head up

[fast sparrow]

anyone interview on friday hear back yet (reject or portal)

[pure ermine]

Got reject this morning

[covert crown]

damn bro thats rough, its fucked how the process is so rng

gotta keep your head up king, keep the process going with other companies too

[pure ermine]

Not RNG in my case bro. He asked me a LC easy. It just happened to be the one that I had neglected in my prep(last submission was 2 months ago lol). I have my LPs prepped for Amzn Robotics at least.

My fault overall.

[icy crow]

It happens

[fast sparrow]

damn sorry to hear

gl with ur other apps

[covert crown]

damn bro, yeah it happens i mean having the LPs solid for amazon robotics is probably going to be a super useful card

[pastel obsidian]

RNG for amazon is actually insane

i got a class design for my technical with 2 extensions

never heard anyone else get this before

[obtuse mountain]

Stephan u goated

[pastel obsidian]

i think i got lucky haha

[grand nebula]

what lc easy>

[thorny shell]

wow

[fast sparrow]

any portal updates today?

[foggy tree]

Guys, for Amazon for internship position after OA does the portal get updated?

[naive wharf]

mine changed to "Under Review"

[foggy tree]

When did you complete your OA2?

[naive wharf]

last sunday

[foggy tree]

I completed on 25th Oct still it is subkitted.

Hmm. Okay

[naive wharf]

I wouldn't be too worried, I don't think it signifies anything

[foggy tree]

Okay. Hopefully it won't be an issue.

[ivory fjord]

My portal says moved to another job

[obtuse mountain]

Incoming Amazoner

[ivory fjord]

and the location changed from seattle to irvine

Ayy lets go

[naive wharf]

congrats 🙂

[obtuse mountain]

Irvine

How do you rate the locations

[ivory fjord]

I think I did in the survey of OA2

dont totally remember

[obtuse mountain]

Yeah i mean for example which one is better, irvine or seattle

in ur opinion

[livid owl]

Portal Update!!!!!

[ivory fjord]

I preferred it the most since a family member of mine lives there

[faint kernel]

Portal Update 😳

[fossil carbon]

just bombed LC easy during interview lol

[pure ermine]

I did the same last week

[gilded merlin]

[fierce spear]

anyone know how the relocation bonus works? do they just give you the amount in full each month or does it depend on things

[ivory fjord]

^

[muted sinew]

I heard you get a lump sum for relocation before you start

[muted sinew]

that's only for the first 3 months though so if you do the 16 week one then you will get paid again after the 3rd month

[fierce spear]

@muted sinew thanks! and oh whats the 16wk one? never heard of that, is that an entirely diff program?

[muted sinew]

in the start date survey they ask if this is part of a co-op and it just makes it a 16 week internship vs 12

[broken ocean]

anyone else get this email? i got this today and i applied early august

[naive grove]

Amazon 6month intern coding questions to practice?

[meager venture]

pretty much tell you to keep waiting, and take other offer lol

[spring eagle]

amazon the type of company id reneg other companies for but at the same time reneg for other companies

[obtuse mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/bear-guitar-la-vida-es-una-lenteja-gif-17402667

[broken ocean]

I mean I’m in no rush I already accepted another offer a while ago lmao

[steel patrol]

[spring eagle]

damn reneg kingdom

[pure ermine]

Hard to be loyal to when you know companies can find your replacement in few hours

[slim vessel]

I took my OA2 on the 3rd of this month for SDE intern, it says on my portal "under consideration" but the role is no longer available. Anyone facing/faced the same issue? And is there a need to worry how long it takes to get a response?

[zealous snow]

took my OA2 on the 28th im still under review

[split isle]

usually takes at least a week for them to get back to you about the interview

i'd expect a response in the next few days

[tidal crane]

Can I ask for SDE 2 upgrade during my SDE interview?
I have 5+ years of experience

[obtuse mountain]

For amazon after u accept the offer, do they let you actually sign it or just accepting it and you are dobe

[pure ermine]

During the accept part did it say your acceptance is an electronic signature or something?

For my last job, it was all online. Even my signature was just a crappy sign with your mouse thing. But I can see them just having you click a box or typing your name into a text box count as signing.

[upbeat kraken]

What are the chances of Amazon deferring my summer internship to Fall 2022 if I request them?

Like, they have already said they don't do that in the FAQs, but how easier is their process to defer my internship to Fall?

[median copper]

Please tell me how can I apply this role

[blazing laurel]

Did any of y'all get invited to the final round after screwing up OA1 (part 1)? :/

[dull shadow]

Online

[median copper]

Could you please tell me in more detail?

[meager venture]

the work simulation?

[blazing laurel]

sorry, meant the HankerRank questions* edit: whoops

[meager venture]

as far as i know, i think if u get 1 perfect and some of the second you should be fine

but usually you will get the work simulation within a day if u pass the hackerrank

[steel patrol]

📸

[stoic narwhal]

This sounds right. I think I passed all the test cases on the first problem and then maybe most of the test cases on the second problem and got a final round invite

[winged cobalt]

Anyone know offer rate if you made it to final round? Final round went kinda poorly and interviewer didn't really pay attention so I don't think im getting much "partial credit"

[obtuse mountain]

I remember somebody said 50% in this chat

Idk

[meager venture]

prob a lot of ppl in this discord moved on to final but i know a lot of ppl irl that got rejected after OA 2

[coral tusk]

Anyone have tips preparing for the final ?

[grand nebula]

have story for each lp and practice blind 75\

[rustic bolt]

Anyone know how long it normally takes after OA2 to know if you either got an interview/rejected?

[naive wharf]

I've heard 1 week and 2 months lmao

Claim is that unless they reject you off the bat (i.e within a weekish?) you're probably good

[stoic narwhal]

Literally 3 months after I got my OA1 email I got my interview invitation

[rustic bolt]

lmao ty for the input, now hoping either I get an interview in a few days or dont hear for a while lmao

[rustic bolt]

thats insane, when'd you apply?

[stoic narwhal]

Can't remember when I applied, but I got the OA1 email on August 12th

I guess I was on the backburner haha

[rustic bolt]

damn lmao

I finished oa2 like last wednesday-ish so was just curious since I hadn't heard anything

except I needed to resubmit the id pic a few days ago

[zealous snow]

for final

[lofty light]

nah boston

[blazing laurel]

wtf are you me LOL, I did my OA2 on Thursday. I had to resubmit ID as well cuz it didn't say we needed ID on the verification page

pretty annoying tbh - best of luck with your app though

[rustic bolt]

yeah it is lol, and same to you!

have you heard anything yet or also still waiting

[blazing laurel]

nah still waiting, not feeling too good overall tbh, how'd you do on oa1?

[winged cobalt]

Amazon really is RNG

now that I look back at it, I got an optimal time complexity solution on the final round after a perfect OA1, seemingly really good OA2, and good LPs, and I explained the central logic of the one incorrect part of my program to the interviewer, but in my code just mixed up two variables. just got the rejection 26 hours later

interviewer cracked open a soda can and said a total of < 50 words and was very visibly not listening

[ashen stump]

how long does it take after final to get portal update if u did well?

[forest inlet]

portal updates monday and wednesday

[empty robin]

i think i got like half right on the first problem and another half one the second problem and i got the invite for part 2? :0

[spring eagle]

anyone on amazon ny?

[steep lion]

so for people interviewing wed they would get portal updates on monday?

do they give emails too? or just the portal change?

[forest inlet]

yep

and nah just portal change for wednesday/friday

u get offer letter the day after

[steep lion]

any chance that it might happen later or is it usually a rejection if it takes too much time?

no rejection so far so I'm still waiting

[forest inlet]

rejection usually really quickly. and nah from what ive noticed its pretty much always monday/tuesday

[steep lion]

Ok thank you!

and one more question. do you happen to know the usual time they give updates?

[obtuse mountain]

I think late in the day for portal updates

Mine was like 6:30 pm central time

[steep lion]

well no update yet so ig its over for me bois 😭

[obtuse mountain]

[grand nebula]

no update is generally good because rejections are usually pretty fast

[obtuse mountain]

[ashen stump]

how fast?

1 biz day?

[steep lion]

within 48 hrs I heard

[blazing laurel]

a friend of mine got rejected after 4 days, i'd say if you make it past 96h ur good

[ashen stump]

regular days or biz days?

[blazing laurel]

regular, but he did it like Monday so lol

[ashen stump]

oh ic i did mine on thursday

[stoic narwhal]

Damn I hope I get my final interview scheduled soon 😭

[blazing laurel]

same man :(

[stoic narwhal]

I checked every slot on Monday and Tuesday lol

[steep lion]

I took it wed and still nothing

losing hope as more time passes

damn

[obtuse mountain]

This Wednesday?

Normally you see the update on Monday

Next Monday

[split isle]

you would only get a rejection by now, if you get accepted then you would find out as early as this monday

[zealous snow]

anyone thats been waiting a while for final i just got mine after doing OA2 on the 28th of october

Vancouver if that makes a difference

[naive wharf]

Yeah I just got mine as well

[blazing laurel]

Wait, I'm Vancouver as well, is your onsite interview literally in-person or? (did OA2 Nov-10)

[zealous snow]

nah online

[teal osprey]

Hey all, I did Amazon Final on Wednesday 17. And since tomorrow is Monday, I assume that I will have a portal change if I am accepted, but if I don't have any portal change does it mean I'm gonna be rejected?

[obtuse mountain]

I think if they reject you they the rejection comes in the morning

Earlier in the same day than portal change

[teal osprey]

So first thing I will do tomorrow morning is see if I received an email. If I do, I will not read it and consider myself rejected.

[ashen stump]

lmaoo same ig

[stoic narwhal]

I'd just open the email tbh

[teal osprey]

I don't wanna ruin my day

[stoic narwhal]

well if you see the email and you consider yourself rejected, why is that any different than opening it?

[teal osprey]

It's still more calming than: "Unfortunately we have decided blah blah"

[stoic narwhal]

fair enough

Good luck man!

[teal osprey]

Thanks Jack, good luck to you as well

When did you take the final

[stoic narwhal]

I'm taking it on tuesday

[teal osprey]

Oh nice!

[stoic narwhal]

thanks!

[steep lion]

I also took the interview nov 17th

so ig tmrrw is either a rejection or acceptance

gonna be a shit day I can feel it ....

[obtuse mountain]

[steep lion]

is there any chance they just ghost me?

that would hurt more ngl

and also do they email about portal updates too? or just rejections?

[obtuse mountain]

In my case I checked the portal myself, the next day an email would come saying you got the offer

[steep lion]

thx sir

[ashen stump]

tmm gonna be a day of refreshing portal once per minute until 5pm pst

[teal osprey]

Good luck everyone @steep lion @ashen stump

[ashen stump]

Thanks man you too

[steep lion]

Thanks fam. good luck yall <3

[ashen stump]

How early in the morning do rejections after final come out?

[teal osprey]

Idk. I didn't receive anything yet.

[steep lion]

me neither

prolly getting ghosted as always

[ashen stump]

damn i didnt get anything either 😦

[steep lion]

damn

look at the people waiting lol

[teal osprey]

Lol

[teal osprey]

No, give it some time... I don't want anyone of us to receive an email

Portal changes in the evening according to people here

So not getting anything yet is positive

[stoic narwhal]

I didn

I don't think amazon ghosts after final interview

[meager venture]

3-5 business days, if ur interview was last week prob this monday or wednesday

[ashen stump]

I didn't get anything either

Praying for that offer

[ashen stump]

damn where are the 36 offers coming from

i thought offer updates swing in at evening

[teal osprey]

Probably outliers

[teal osprey]

Do you have the link?

[steep lion]

[stoic narwhal]

During thanksgiving week, what counts as business days?

I know they aren't conducting any interviews on W, T, F

[coral tusk]

What should I be expecting for the final round interview?

[teal osprey]

LeetCode and LPs

[ashen stump]

Anyone here got notified of a rejection yet?

[teal osprey]

Nope

I wish lol

I prefer getting rejected than ghosted

[obtuse mountain]

Offers incoming

How many times you refreshed your portal today bro

[ashen stump]

Uncountable

LOL

Bro if I don't get an update before break starts then this break gonna be a break full of anxiousness

[worthy creek]

ima need a new f5 keycap after this

[teal osprey]

Lol imma need a new screen for my phone

I was refreshing in class

Hopefully they consider Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday as business days.

[worthy creek]

i heard portal changes happen on mondays and wednesdays and they send offer letters out on tuesdays and thursdays. not sure what happens if portal changes happen on this wednesday tho

[obtuse mountain]

I didn't actually break my f5 key

But I def refreshed three figure times that day

[steep lion]

[teal osprey]

Nothing....

[ashen stump]

Same :(

For rejections what comes first portal update or email?

[steep lion]

[ashen stump]

it looks like the latest we can wait for tonight is until 8pm PST to get something

if not

then TWO MORE DAYS OF ANXIETY

[trim summit]

i got my portal change at like 7:45 pst so

it can come very late

[ashen stump]

yea hopefully thats the case i dont want 2 more days of anxiety

[worthy creek]

hopefully they keep their 5 business day promise and dont make us wait over break

[ashen stump]

worst case a break of anxiety

[worthy creek]

can't wait to refresh my phone while eating turkey 😢

[teal osprey]

I bet their AWS budget is skyrocketing because of all the http requests happening

Why does it say "Under Review" to me, but it says "Interview Completed" to others? What's the difference?

[stoic narwhal]

When you interview with amazon for an SDE internship, do you typically speak to a recruiter or an engineer?

[teal osprey]

For me, it was all automated.

The only human interaction I had was during my final round with the SDE

[stoic narwhal]

I mean in the final round

because some circumstantial evidence leads me to believe I'm speaking with a recruiter tomorrow and I was wondering if that is atypical

[worthy creek]

just got a portal update. i now have one additional application in my dashboard saying application submitted. what does that mean?

[steep lion]

prolly got the offer @worthy creek

when was this?

[worthy creek]

5:49pm pst

[steep lion]

yooo I got it too

two stuff now

is it rejection? or acceptance?
