Received mid loop feedback, still waiting on behavioral 2 Strong hires - Coding. 1 hire - System Design No hire - System Design TC: 515
A No hire is always reject. Part of interview training.
What’s your level, TC, YOE?
E6, 10
At amazon? You mean L6?
How bad was your sys design that you got a no hire instead of leaning or weak hire atleast?
How is your recruiter sharing that kinda details with you. It's good recruiter. Mine was lip tied about any feedback leave alone sharing which round got which rating. 🤷🏽♂️
They rescheduled my behavior interview multiple times so shared this as courtesy.
One system design no hire is reject
Update: There will be debrief. The recruiter asked for internal references. Good sign?
OP, what depth was expected in system design? Is alex xu book and grokking sd course enough? Are the working of things like cassandra, consistent hashing, consensus protocol, etc also expected?
Yes. You may get asked to dot deep dive where topics you mentioned will help to show your strength.
System design is key for e6 loop. I went through this and got an offer, tho I ended up declining
You got a down level offer?
I aced system design but did just ok in coding
