I think I completely decimated the coding interviews, although the behavioral questions were iffy at the start. I particularly knocked the hiring manager's coding question clean out of the park. I also made sure to be polite to each of them and thank them for their time at the end (made a point of not being an asshole). The interviews ended by 12:30pm (Friday) and I've heard that they make the decision that day on whether to hire. At 4:57, the recruiter emailed me "Just wanted to check how do you feel about today's interview, how did it go?" Recruiters don't waste their time with people that got rejected, so I think she's just feeling out my confidence for leverage on negotiating an offer. (A Google recruiter asked me about how the online assessment went before telling me that they're proceeding with an on-site). Does it sound like I'm getting an offer to you guys as well?
Who told you that? The recruiter is just being polite following up with you. My friend got his interview result within 1 hour, when he was accepted.
I’ll take things that never happened for 500, Alex.
@luuU85 Nope, happened to me as well. If everyone submits feedback quickly and votes strong hire you can hear back same day or the next day - the recruiter will sometimes begin discussing initial numbers without hiring committee if the feedback is very good. They just won't have "final" numbers. This is even easier for companies that don't have a hiring committee. When I interviewed at Apple the recruiter called me on the way back to the airport that evening.
Sounds like if you were as confident about your performance (as you claim) you wouldn’t have written this tome.
Well, I wrote it because I have an on-site with Google this Friday and want to make sure that Amazon wouldn't screw with their deadline in such a way that Google will run out of time
Google will take a couple of weeks to follow up, as they hire by committee. Just so you know, my recruiter wrote me the night before to wish me luck and ask if I have any questions. When I got home from the on-site he sent me the nice “how do you think it went” email (like yours). He then wrote to say it will take until the next week to get an update. So just shy of 2 weeks, he called to say that I failed to advance to team matching (which I think means I failed the hiring committee). Since you’re going to be awesome, yours might only take a week to pass HC and move on to a few days of team matching.
How did the behavioral questions go after the rough start at first? Don’t want to be discouraging, but I believe they consider LPs a very important aspect. Why the decision to leave Capital One, btw?
I would think there is more than one
The last 2 were solid and easy. I think I was somehow struggling a little with their wording on the first couple
lmao the recruiter is just being nice, it doesn’t mean anything
Per OP if a girl asks him an address then she’s totally into him.
Since recruiter is a girl, maybe she wants his fang money
OP do you always think the waitresses are flirting with you
I listed the times because why would the recruiter still be wasting their time if I got rejected? They probably already know the results. If I got rejected, why would they care about how I think I think it went? Why would they still be trying to play nice?
uh I have no idea why you’re just assuming that they already know the results. empirically recruiters say that even when it later turns out to be a no hire
If you feel like you got the job, it should be because you did well on the interviews. Recruiters always ask that question from my experience, offer or not.
After every in house interview there is a debrief. Usually that happens between 1 and 5 days after the day of the interview, never on the same day. Before the debrief, there is no result.
You had to make a point to not be an asshole? 😂
lol I didn't have to, but I wanted to go that extra mile since behavioral is a large component with Amazon, and I wanted to differentiate myself over other candidates. I solved everything optimally -- what if everyone else did too?
Aetna’s point is that you shouldn’t have to go out of your way to not be an asshole, that should just be natural.
Not really. He likely still waiting for feedback
