Had final round of interviews on Monday. Got word today that I didn’t make the cut. Don’t know what I coulda done differently, I thought the interviews went very well. Have no idea what else they were looking for. Tied my experience to the LPs, I was relaxed, conversational.....ah well. 😕😞😟

Sorry OP.

Sorry to hear OP. Sometimes things happen that are out your control, keep your head up. A positive out of the Amazon interviews is that since the behaviorals are rigorous, it’s a skill you can take moving forward to your next interviews.

like

OP, how did you prepare for the interview? What could you have done differently?

like

I made sure that I tied all of my work experience/stories to the LPs. The lead recruiter aid that this was to be the focus of our preparation. Not sure what I coulda done differently, tbh....I felt very good afterwards and thought that I did well, based on the interaction, the fact that we ran overtime on all 5 appointments, the reaction of the interviewers, etc. Unbelievable.

Was it a technical role?

Same happened to me. I felt good afterwards too

I heard they keep on asking about the leadership principles. How was your interview. Can you share specifics. Its not just feeling good. They will constantly score you for every question. Same question will be asked by different people and you will be checked for consistency. Making the interview candidates feel good must be in their metrics. Did you guys do a survey at the end of the interview?

like

@MC1 if the same question is asked multiple times by different interviewers, would you recommend answering the same way, or provide different examples each time?

Provide different examples if possible. It’s also likely you may get similar questions but with regards to different LPs. You can also reframe your story to fit the LP you feel they’re asking about

Hi All!

I am currently a Senior Software Engineer(Backend) with 4 YOE. My current CTC is 21LPA (All Fixed) with additional Yearly bonus. I got a call from
Google (Pune/Bangalore/Remote) for Software Engineer - Backend. I have the following doubts but any insights are welcome -

1. Does the lower designation offered make any difference?
2. Kinda ambiguous, but what kind of hike or ballpark pay can I expect?
3. Any similar interviews experiences or focus areas I should prepare for?

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.
