Amazon Online Assessment Fail

Last weekend I finished Amazon OA. I solved all (two) problems, all test cases passed on both questions, and also I explained solution, time and space complexity. But, today I got email from recruiter that says they are not moving forward to the interview. How can it be?

Did you also do Amazon LP survey? Normally there is.

Yes I did. It was about 15 minutes.

You probably copied a solution from LC

No, I didn't. But, in the case of copied code from LC, do they check LC?

Your keystrokes are easily flagged, havent you noticed your laptop battery draining crazy while taking the assessment?

I failed an OA and then a recruiter approached me after about 2 months for a different role and scheduled a phone screen. Now I have an offer and joining them this coming Monday. Keep hustling brother!!

Weird, I failed 1 test case but still got an on-site. You might want to ask if their decision is based on OA result.

I sent email and asked about reason that disqualifies me for the next round

Maybe I explained space/time complexities wrong. But I texted on my phone during OA to respond some urgent sms. I hope they don't track candidates' laptop camera and microphone.

How can they do that without you allowing it in the first place?
