Appreciation for Amazon interviews.
I recently interviewed for Amazon and I actually liked the experience of having leadership questions in interviews. It allowed me to better demonstrate the work I have been doing daily along with my technical skills. What are your opinions about Amazon's interviews? Is it just a different type of leetcode? Or is it a better method of judging a candidate?
Amazon puts in a lot of effort and highly values interviewers. I too like the leadership questions. Mostly because there are no right answers for them. The answers tell you if the candidate is a good fit for the team.
Do they ask leadership questions in phone screens as well?
Brah, this is an anonymous forum. You don't have to brown nose here.
What team are you from Microsoft?

No wonder you are servile!
I'm glad we don't ask such questions as they can easily be bullshitted. You can say anything you want in such a case, you never really know how they will behave until they have the job, unfortunately.
Here! Here!
I see LP answers can be faked and it doesn’t show the true value of candidate. Pretty bad in my opinion.
I disagree here. But I commit. Am I hired?
I’ve worked at other big tech companies too, including those of the people making fun of these questions on his thread. As an experienced interviewer, I believe that they actually do help a LOT. It’s amazing the shit people will say that completely disqualified them. This wouldn’t come up if the interviews were just coding and design. Like the dev who did api design who told me that his customers had (through his 20 year career) been wrong every single time when they disagreed with his design decisions or asked for changes.
Are you telling us that the leadership interview is the only way to understand undesirable personality traits? Any smart / experienced interviewer can figure this out. If an interviewer can't, they should not be on the panel to begin with.
I’m saying that they give a framework for it, and a set of dimensions that can be regularly probed and consistent that are actually important here. It helps reduce issues and it’s different interviewers from having their own pet areas that actually don’t represent the company.
lol 😂
