I just interviewed with Amazon for the Sr. PM position. I had four back to back interviews. Two of which were also PMs. However, who was the bar raiser in this case if the third was a UI Designer and the fourth was a Software Engineer? 🤔

The bar raiser is always from a different team. So whoever in this case didn’t work for the team (their role doesn’t matter) is the bar raiser.

Looks like you didn't have the bar raiser yet.
It looks like it was a loop round and all of them were loop interviewers.

The bar raiser will happen after this.

Exactly. A1 is spot on. The bar raiser is an individual, not a separate round.

You

The UI designer?

Bar raiser doesn’t have to be a PM. Could have been any of them

Hard to tell since the UI designer was short on time since the recruiter messed up and sent us to the wrong chime room 15 mins late lol. I felt like the SWE was very pleasant/calm but had more YoE at Amazon.

Sorry could you explain the concept? What is a bar raiser? Do they check to see if you qualify for next level? Are the highest level of all interviewers? Prepping for loop.. would be great insight. TIA

Bar raiser is someone who have to make sure that every new hire is better than the last one (that's why it's called bar raiser, because they have to always "raise the bar")

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
