HM decides level in amazon?

May 23, 2017 4 Comments

Anyone know if hiring manager decides level after interview? Or it depends on everyone? Bar raiser? Was told that feedback was strong hire for one level below target level. Not sure if target level offer is ever gonna happen. Will definitely reject the offer if there's no way I can get the level right.
Thanks!

    HM and BR have to agree but everyone in the loop weighs in on level. Usually there's a level assigned based on experience but sometimes a downlevel discussion happens.

    If you are a recent grad then SDE1, otherwise SDE2. Any other level is going to be a bait and switch attempt. "Target" level is a joke. Most SDM's and interviewers are not qualified to discern level.
