I recently interviewed at Amazon(onsite). When I asked the recruiter for feedback, he said he will give me the feedback on Friday. The same happened with the Google's recruiter as well and on that specific day he called me to inform that they will not move forward. I feel that the decision is already made but they are just not telling me know. I can be wrong but I just wanted to know the thoughts from the recruiter's point of view.
You are not a priority for them. They are busy chatting up the accepted candidates.
Lol, so cold
Cause recruiters maintain a priority queue not a FIFO queue. A rejection has low priority plus it’s logn
This guy leetcodes.
Yes its painful and heartbreaking. You invest so much in every onsite and then patiently await results for days to be just rejected in the end.
Actually the recruiter might still be trying to chase people for an answer/feedback. Some interviewers forget to fill the interview feedback and setting up a debrief meeting that works for everyone is sometimes impossible. You're not alone on this. Basically it's an unsolved problem, that probably needs an smarter approach. The silverlining is that you probably have some positive feedback and at least one inclined to hire. If everybody says not inclined to hire, there's no need for a debrief. The recruiter can send you the rejection right away once all the feedback is in.
I've nowadays come to a conclusion that if recruiter doesn't reach out in a day or two after interviews, it's a gone case. Jobs I've got till now were all decided within couple of days. Else it was reject.
You can almost gauge how well you did based on the response time. At my best onsite interview (I was on fire that day) the recruiter called me before I finished my drive home.
I do not have the same experience. When I got my offer after my on-site from Amazon (AWS), it came @7pm on day 4 (6 if you include the weekend). I start in June :)
The recruiters always have more people in the pipeline. If they have a candidate that they're extending an offer they always have another one (second best, backup plan, whatever you want to call it) in case the first candidate falls through.

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me ‘a look’ because I tipped her 10% for ‘BAD service!’
Part of emotional intelligence in delivering not favorable news
I thought the same but it is their day to day job. I can't understand the thought behind spending multiple emails just to delay the bad news.
You will come down on them hard during the week versus after a weekend when you will have other ways to get over it 😉
