I've been an interviewer at Netflix and Amazon and both of these feel pretty spot on in the guide. Not sure if it's still this way, but at Netflix the hiring manager was the only decision-maker. They took in all the feedback from the other interviewers and usually went with the majority, but they had the ultimate choice. You could say they had the Freedom to hire anyone they want and the Responsibility to deal with the consequences of that. And yes, at Netflix we pretty much all just made up our interviews as we wanted to, although after I while I zeroed in on questions that would give me the best go/no go data and would repeat them often. And at Amazon, what they say here is very accurate -- the bar raiser is the key person to impress. They and the HM have ultimate say on the results.
