but google has an insane hiring bar meaning that they rarely have false positives. amazons philosophy is hire fast fire fast. it’s too late for them to raise their bar considering a lot of their employees wouldn’t reach it
- mabbo 8y ago> amazons philosophy is hire fast fire fast Oh god, I can't disagree more. I've been an interviewer at Amazon. I've probably done 50+ interviews in house and hired maybe 5 of those. I'd really prefer if we'd lower the hiring bar and focused more on building (and RETAINING) engineers. It would be far less effort, imho.
- mhdhn 8y agoSounds right. A friend who worked there said he did 100 interviews for devs, with 0 ending up hired.
- alkibiades 8y agothat’s because 90 pct of people applying to any job are unqualified. all three times i’ve interviewed at amazon getting an offer was trivial.
- ex_amazon_sde 8y agoNot at all. I've been in many interview loops in Amazon. The hiring bar obviously depends on the team but it's usually higher than other FAANG without Google
