I passed Google’s interview but failed Amazon’s 🤷‍♂️🙈💩

I am very confused because Amazon’s interview was (waay) easier. Anyone been in this situation?

Nope..But would love to..How can I make this happen???

The interview process is fairly random; I got offers from some top companies while being rejected by others (including Amazon). When you're interviewing with 5-6 of the 10s of thousands of engineers at a big company, it's very likely that random chance will play a huge role in whether you get an offer or not.

Yea could be the variance in tech interviews.

Did the Google interview happen after your Amazon one? I had 4 on-sites in quick succession and I got better each time: bombed, borderline but no offer, offer, offer.

Apple fullCircle OP Sep 11, 2019

Yeah google was two days after amazon

Google 🦄🏴‍☠️ Sep 11, 2019

Amazon interview process is a fiasco. They fuck up repeatedly. I am not surprised by your story at all.

Amazon CulStryBro Sep 11, 2019

My experience is the opposite. Amazon had a much more logical, well thought out interview process than Google.

Would love to have this situation!!! You got Google's offer. WTF care about Amazon's? Wanna be a coding slave?

Apple fullCircle OP Sep 11, 2019

I am just confused that’s all. Amazon’s interview bar was much lower than google’s 🤷‍♂️

Amazon bezosboi Sep 11, 2019

Are you sure? Because you didn't get in.

Amazon focuses heavily on the bs behavioral part. A friend of mine was in the same situation as well

No, never.

It just means you are a good fit to Google's culture but not Amazon's. Also you're lucky, stay away from Amazon.

Apple fullCircle OP Sep 11, 2019

You no like Amazon?

Amazon oyVu40 Sep 11, 2019

Don't like it because of management politics and compensation philosophy, otherwise I have good WLB, pay and work.

Same here. I failed Amazon as I was very annoyed with bar raiser and here I am with Google

Apple fullCircle OP Sep 11, 2019

Nice, did you tell him to fuck off or what? I was a bit annoyed with my bar raiser too.

LinkedIn ex-fb Sep 11, 2019

How do you know who is the bar raider?
