Just wondering if the first 2 rounds with Amazon are where the attrition happens, or if they err on the side of keeping people in the funnel until they can see them in-person.
1/5 which is 20%
Approx 20-30%
About 1 in 5 get an offer.
Bad phone screening then... Should be much higher if the phone screens were done properly
Pretty sure google is similar, it might even be lower.
No kidding! It’s my first time interviewing at a major tech company, but in all of my other job searches, it’s seemed like you have a good chance at the job by the in-person interview.
I got rejected twice by amazon before making on third. Its pretty high
Do you have a sense of what happened the first 2 times and why the 3rd time was a success?
I'd say SDE is closer to 1 out of 10 get an offer from my experience. SE closer to 1 out of 4.
Sounds difficult to get in Amazon 😒
Wouldn’t necessarily call it difficult, just that here’s a huge volume of applicants.
I took many interviews and my inclined/not inclined ratio has been 15/85%. In most cases my vote matches with other interviewers’ votes.
Do you feel there’s a big thing people do right or wrong to end up in either bucket? My understanding is: approach every answer from a customer-first perspective and worry more about laying out your thought process while showing you would be open to other solutions over trying to be sure you give the best solution. Also, never try to solve a problem without clarifying and noting assumptions.
Sounds about right, although not everything has to be customer-focused. There’s specific questions for that. Also, don’t prematurely optimize, do it after you’ve got a working solution and you have time to burn.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
