Pivotal Interview
- Pivotal panel interview Have others been interviewed at Pivotal for PM? Their panel interview, with one person acting as product owner, is... different from what I'm used to. Any impressions from others? They passed on me, and the external recruiter shared their feedback with me (not sure they were supposed to have done th
- Pivotal Interview Process is Amazing No LC and got straight to solving a real problem using Test-Driven Development and pair programming. Why don’t I see any other tech companies doing this type of interview? It simulates how you are supposed to work on a daily basis. Kudo to Pivotal 👍🙏😁
- Pivotal Product Manager interview Asking for a friend. My friend reached to the final round of interview (on-site) and was only told she'll be paired with current product managers to go through a Product Management exercise for 1.5 hours (whiteboard, etc.) But did not provide further details.

- "Why did you leave?" - is it okay in interview to discuss gains from crypto/GME, then pivoting to positives? Besides the usual PIP scares at AMZN, we all know some people made years' worth of salary from quarantine casual investing.

- Amazon is legit a shitty company TLDR; Never ever join Amazon if you have another offer. I was about to move teams after being at Amazon for 6 years and in my current team for 2 years (with the same manager). I’d been getting great feedback through the year. Guess what? When I told my manager that I was going to accept an offer o
- Where will the leetcode bar be in a few years? Bar keeps going up. When I graduated college Trapping Rain Water didn't even exist, now everyone in this swe interview prep group I've joined has it and its related questions mastered.

- Pivot in Amazon Got Pivoted in Amazon a month back. Joined 1y back in L6. Chose "to improve in Amazon" option - as I am on visa; and it is not that easy (or quick) to get a new role.

- Severance if I quit during pivot? Got entry to pivot today. I have 5 business days to decide. The day after my decision deadline I'm vesting some RSUs. Looks like I cannot delay the decision for a couple days so I can vest and get full severance. If I take pivot and give notice that I quit a couple days into pivot, do I still get pa
- It's been 3 interview rejections so far. So depressing. All rejections are due to last interview. Except one interview, where I did a major blunder, the remaining two interviews were good. However, I felt that the interviewer and me did not have proper connect or vibe😞I wanted to quit by April to pivot and start afresh, but these rejections are just so depressing. 😖

- What's your least favorite part of interviewing? Let's let off some steam. For me it's interviewers who can't communicate and have no clue what they want. These people could be replaced with a simple word doc. The number of people who just pivot halfway through after I thoroughly discuss what I plan to do is too damn high. The next thing, anyone
