Yeah this article is garbage. I never saw any of this when I worked at Amazon (up to around a year ago). Post-interview panel meetings always focused on the candidate's strengths and weaknesses and their ability to raise the bar. It would have been absurd in those meetings for a manager to advocate hiring a "throwaway" candidate. I can't see it happening at all at Amazon, particularly with the requirement of having a bar raiser on each panel.
