I don't know about Amazon specifically, but when I'm giving interviews, I only let it go over time if the candidate wants to (e.g. they're asking me questions etc), I have time, *and* I'm enjoying the conversation. That last criteria means for me it's a good sign, but I imagine it varies with the company and the interviewer.

Speaking to my own practices, if they do badly on a coding question, I'm not going to waste either of our times talking with them past the time limit. On the feedback form I note how far we got.

It's not always obvious how you did on the coding part as the interviewee. Several of the questions I've asked in the past are designed to have enough branching follow-up questions to fill the time, with zero expectation of getting to all of them. To a candidate that can look like it was a hard question that they didn't finish, but to the interviewer they may very well have gotten further than most candidates.

It seems kind of unfair to me to give a candidate extra time on the evaluated part of an interview -- it's luck of the draw whether both parties have the option to run over (parent has to go pick up a kid from school, next interview is scheduled right after, etc). I have no problems going over if they want to ask me more questions about the company/role, but I make it clear that the interview proper is done and that I'm just sticking around to chat.

In my experience, that is a good sign.

So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
