Left Amazon last August and am interviewing to boomerang back, but at a higher level. My main question is, if you’re a boomerang, do HMs/interviewers have access to see your old Forte feedback, etc… or reach out to your old managers? Curious because I believe if they did this, it would actually give...Read more
I am currently not in dev list, but for the forte review, I got NI. I am L4 and has 2 years experience. I am a bit upset because some of the feedbacks were like: you need to write some design documents.

Seems like such an easy way to filter out all the low performers. There is no better way to assess a new potential hire from Amazon than looking at their forte. Leetcode skills mean 💩 Edit: I don’t think people understand what I’m saying. I’m saying that companies should use your entire performan...Read more

I saw a job on jobfinder. Contacted the manager and he told me to apply officially when I didn’t want to . I did that and he talked to my manager even without conducting an interview and they talked and then the HM stopped responding. Didn’t even give me chance to interview. I am not LE and have go...Read more
Hi, Let’s say someone got a NI rating (not sure how that maps with LE/HV categories) and successfully comes out of coaching plan, what are the chances for getting back to Amazon in future.

So.. I have been feeling really low and dealing with low self-esteem, inferiority complex issues. Before I joined Amazon almost 2 years ago, I still did feel bad about myself, always trying to aspire for a FAANG lifestyle, dreaming about how awesome it will be working at a FAANG. However, now that ...Read more

What's Uber's Android Interview like? I have what they've told me, but a concrete example of what it has contained in the past would be useful.
