Managers generally overrule other's opinions by giving promise of personally "coaching" the new hire to make them meet the bar. In most cases such people are put on a plan, ironically called "Coaching Plan" itself, and thereafter fired. URA quota is an open secret at Amazon, and some employee appreciate the practice of hire to fire, as it saves their own employment. That in turn ensures that objection to bad hire, who is going to be "coached" is non existent.
- angarg12 5y agoI've done +200 interviews at Amazon and I have never seen this happen. I only remember one single case where a HM was pushing to hire a clearly unqualified candidate. The Bar Raiser pushed back and didn't let it get through.
- cryptische 5y agoI've started observing this recently. I too didn't see such push earlier. Maybe because of recent supply crunch, hiring managers have become more desperate to save the head of the existing people in their team.
