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.
