Why do amazon interviewers take pictures. Some of the interviewers took pictures and some didn’t. What’s the deal
To use it during their interviews at F-NG.
Nice
Because you have to take notes on the interview. A picture saves all the code you've written: very effective for notes.
Wow sometimes I wonder how did I pass school. I should put out ny questions more clearer. My question was if it’s protocol why do some take and some do not .
It’s not required in most places if you type the code or “describe” it. I don’t think I’ve ever worked at a place that required it. It isn’t a good or bad sign; maybe someone will write “I asked them to implement X and they did it perfectly” and not submit a photo. I think Google’s hiring committee is more stringent so basically 100% of interviewers take photos IIRC. But it just depends.
Ok thanks
It takes ambiguity out of interview debriefs. If a question of code quality comes up, the interviewer can refer back to the actual code
Oh makes sense I was thinking it was some happy/not happy signal
Some may have typed your code as you wrote it. Or they may feel that they can remember it well enough.
I do that in my interviews too
Saves me the effort of taking notes and removes ambiguity. Do it all the time :) doesn't mean it's a good or bad signal
Lazy note takers
I take notes and don’t take pictures. It is important to document how the candidate got to the solution and not just that he/she did.
Was this your first interview ever? It’s a common practice. Some use photos for notes, some don’t.
After a long time yes buddy
Welcome back to the interview grind!
