If I got it right, there is one bar raiser during Amazon onsite interview and if you failed interview with him, you failed it all. But what if you failed another parts but aced the part with him?
So in bar raiser a difficult question is asked? Or is it an interviewer from another team to make no bias.
Second option
But the BR can decide it's an Amazon hire and then recruiting will find a team that did want you. BR decides whether or not it's an Amazon hire. HM decides whether or not you're a fit on their team.
You can fail the bar raiser interview but still get hired. The bar raiser is going to make the hiring decision and will make that decision after hearing what everyone had to say. So if you do really well on the other interviews, and especially if there is evidence to alleviate the concern the BR had, then the BR can change their vote after listening to all the feedback. Similarly if you ace the BR interview but fail everywhere else the BR is going to hear about that and after listening to the feedback vote not inclined.
Maybe this will help. Someone paid 25 bucks for this info. Www.rooftopslushie.com/request/80
bar raiser is a bs title anyway. How the hell can one determine you are better or worse than current 50% employees?
The BR concept is fantastic. Maybe you don't understand what a BR is. BR's are people who have done use 50+ looks and are selected from outside the hiring team's organization and make the hiring decision in an objective fashion. This is to ensure its the right decision for Amazon and not just a team hiring low quality candidates to fill headcount.
Bar raisers at Amazon are joke.
I had two bar raisers in theory, because my manager promoted as bar raiser after I joined
Only one person serves as BR in a loop even if several are qualified to do so.
How do you know who your bar raised is?
Bar raiser can veto a hire decision. Not the other way round
Got it, thanks
