FWIW this wasn't my experience when interviewing with Amazon; I felt the bar was much lower than other companies I interviewed with, even when I wasn't that good at algorithmic problems.
That's just one data point, and maybe what you're describing is for more senior hires?
- kudokatz 7y agoI've found a generally higher bar than places like Microsoft but definitely a much lower bar than other FAANG companies, unicorns, and even tiny-but-potentially-elite startups run by people who know what they're doing.
- halflings 7y agoAgreed, Microsoft was an even lower bar... but in a good way: I felt they just wanted someone with basic CS knowledge, whereas the Amazon interviewers seemed to think they were some sort of elite group of engineers.
