If it was an amazon interview that would have went over well. Disagree and commit is explicitly about being able to stand up to your team/manager and voice your opinion about how to do something correct, but if the team/manager overrules you, you commit the the vision the manager or team is building.
Granted, it's hard to very any of that is true in an interview. 90% of people will disagree, then allow themselves to be overruled and then every chance they get rehash the arguments they lost anytime something tangential to it comes up. That's easy to hide in an interview.
- wollsmoth 4y agoIt's been a while but I think it was actually a Spotify interview. Was sad to not get in but I guess in retrospect it was for the best. I whiffed the Amazon interview more on pure algo problems iirc. It's been a while and I just haven't tried again.
- malfist 4y agoInterviewing is such a crapshoot of luck. You can prep all you want, but if you get a grumpy interviewer or a challenge out of your wheelhouse things can go south and there's no way to show you're better. Wish there was a better way.
