As much as I would like to bash Amazon for their draconian and insane interview loops -- which I've been put through once.
The post clearly states these clauses were part of an exam taken on https://proctorio.com/ https://proctorio.com/ for the Amazon interview. So it's doubtful Amazon HR is fully aware of these clauses.
I would happily bash Amazon interview loops all day long, but in this particular case, I would also need to criticize anyone else that uses https://proctorio.com/ https://proctorio.com/ for these practices.
- kafkaesq 10y agoSo it's doubtful Amazon HR is fully aware of these clauses. By all accounts, Amazon is a pretty tightly-run organization. And given the scale of the hiring they do, you be pretty sure that in fact, yes they are exactly aware of what proctorio is doing -- and chose them for precisely that reason.
- jasoncchild 10y agoBoth of these points are conjecture
- kafkaesq 10y ago"Both" as in yours and mine, agreed.
- kstenerud 10y agoAn HR person who signs off on this without requiring verification by a vetted software engineer would demonstrate poor judgment indeed. The whole point of having a responsible person is that the buck stops with them.
- madeofpalk 10y agoAre you suggesting that Amazon is using a product that they actually don't know anything about?
