About a month or 2 ago I was invited for an onsite with AWS and didn't pass. I'm not really sure how I did but the last interviewer was one of the most toxic people I've ever met so that probably didn't help either. One of the recruiters I had worked with during that time emailed me and said they/their team saw my previous application and invited me to start the interview process for a similar team with an online coding assignment. Previously no one mentioned a cool down period or to reapply later. Is there no cool down period on failed on-sites? Is recruiting such a shit show that they don't even know I failed an onsite for a similar role? Or did I almost pass so they're interviewing me for a different team?
Someone who works at amazon currently said that they flag you for at least three months before you can apply again
I didn't apply, they reached out to me. Based on that though it almost sounds like they have no idea what's going on.
They reached out to me on linkedin too but it doesn’t really help much. From what I know amazon needs people. So they reach out and forget. That’s what that one person did to me.
why does it matter? THEY are asking YOU to reapply. that means you have some leverage. just do it. and yes, there is typically a 6-month cool down period. recruiter just told me this a couple days ago, along with the bad news. :/ because they dont give feedback and are stone cold, neutral & evasive after onsites, i have no idea if i was close and am being considered for other roles, or if i bombed BAD and am blacklisted for a couple years. so, if THEY reach out to ME *before* 6 months, i'd be super stoked! i can confirm the toxic interviewer who tries to throw you off/pick on you/fluster you, as well as the disorganized/scattered, unprofessional/not "present" interviewer. i thought this was just my bad luck... or a fluke... they were having a bad day or their organization is actually full of JERKS and i DO NOT actually want to work there!!! however, i have 2 colleagues who recently interviewed onsite, and confirm the same or similar experiences. after speaking with some mentors from negotiations and psychology worlds, i am now starting to think that these are simply tactics. the people themselves are probably fine, but in their slot as interviewer, they are tasked with serving a particular function. pushback, people in power getting sidetracked and pushing you around....it's all a test of how you will hold up in their culture.
Hmmm interesting. The asshole interviewer questioned literally everything I wrote and said so I second guessed a lot of stuff. Although he was my last interview and was pretty shitty afterwords as well so I don't know.
IMO, interviewer not present (leaving for meeting, etc) just meant a rejection. I'm sure there are other possibilities, but usually it meant that I wasn't a fit and was left with a different interviewer who were typically few levels lower than the main one.
