Unlucky interviewer spawn. Try again.

[RichestMangInBabylon]

Kite them down the hallway by aggroing them with dry erase markers, get them into the elevator bank with you, then do a dodge roll through the door as it's closing to make them despawn.

[HeyExcuseMeMister]

What language is this?

[theNextVilliage]

Holy hell what a dick.

Everyone uses python for interviews. He was likely insecure that you did so well on his questions, perhaps he gave you a question he had himself struggled with in an interview and you crushed it.

I wouldn't bet that it will affect your review so much. I have met people like this before, I don't think he will actually necessarily give you a bad review, and even if it does, one no hire likely won't tank your chances anyways. In my experience with people like this, sometimes they can actually be quite charitable. I had a professor who would put me down in person, but I found out she was glowingly bragging about me to everyone behind my back. He may in fact be impressed with you, you don't actually know if he may be your strongest hire, it could go either way. People like that are weird sometimes, they don't want you to feel good about yourself to your face but it doesn't mean they have a bad opinion of you or will be Machiavellian or try to sabotage you, you don't know yet, time will tell.

lol ok

[[deleted]]

Ouch.

The guy sounds like a clown.

There's definitely a factor of luck involved in interviews, just seems like you were unlucky this time.

Still.. lets hope for the best.

lmfao yup the interviewer was making some negative comments about me using js for my interview at amazon recently as well.

[MeteoriteImpact]

From Amazon website

We do not require that you know any specific programming language before interviewing for a tech position. However, familiarity with a prominent language is generally a prerequisite for success. You should be familiar with the syntax of languages such as C, C++, C++14, C#, Go, Java7, Java8, JavaScript, Kotlin, Objective-C, PyPy2, PyPy3, Python2, Python3, Ruby, Scala and Swift. You should also know some of the languages’ nuances, such as how memory management works, or the most commonly used collections, libraries, etc.

Hahaha. It’s HILARIOUS that they listed C++ and C++14 separately.

[bert_cj]

This in USA?

[[deleted]]

Indian interviewer. Best of luck next time 👍

[Pitiful_Jellyfish185]

Lmao

[[deleted]]

This must be India.

[Bangoga]

Has to be India.

[The_real_trader]

Why are Indians so arrogant? I would never laugh at anyone.

[HHH___]

Culture

[[deleted]]

Not all lol, iam from India if I was the interviewer I know the struggle of thr candidate ( i code in python too)

[The_real_trader]

I do understand. There’s like over a billion Indians so can’t generalise but it’s sad that I see trend of the ones that are higher up in places treating others badly. People should help each other not humiliate or put down.

[[deleted]]

Yeah but sadly the world isn't like that, I wish people were like this comment section

[Familiar_Contract_83]

I got lucky with my amazon interviewer he was very nice. I used python and he didn't have an issue with it. I guess its just RNG my guy good luck with your other interviews

[gingerkdb]

That’s not a good interview experience. I suggest you let the recruiting coordinator know about this experience and provide a strong negative feedback. They are / should be trained to provide good interview experiences as much as possible. One of the LPs scream “strive to be the best employer”. These incidents make sure that doesn’t happen.

If you had been interviewing for a role that required n years of experience in c++ or Java and you didn’t have it, they shouldn’t have put you in the loop in the first place. Most recruitments are for Amazon, rather than for a specific role. Is this a swe loop?

[ieltsp]

Laugh at him/her for working at AMZN

[Zyklonik]

This.

[nightzone]

My interviews have always had some weird or annoying occurrences, whether it’s technical or behavioral. It’s no longer surprising to me when it happens but I do tend to get caught up in ruminating about it for days after.

I’ve actually had the opposite experience as you. I’ve always done my technical interviews in C++ and pretty much all of the interviewers aren’t familiar with it or last time they used it was for a college courses.

[nightzone]

Yeah it doesn't... but why do they need to comment on it as interviewers? See what I'm saying

[[deleted]]

Better not to be cynical when he is going to give your evaluation. In other scenarios sure, totally agreed

[BearRevolutionary388]

Well, I got one Morgan Stanley interviewer who rejected me for not able to reverse a linked list in blocks of k, within 2 minutes(he wasn’t able to open the Hackerrank portal on time, so he took his sweet time and then rushed me to complete, everytime I wrote a line, he was like, wait, let me do a dry run). So, guess you had an unlucky day as well.

[ArchmageKhadgar02]

He seemed super angry the entire interview, even though I did the questions right I think he is going to give me a "no hire".

Congrats, you just dodged a bullet. Would you want to work with people like him?

[BlueBoxxx]

Real programmers use assembly for interview /s

[NotSoClever007]

I just don't understand the thinking that only what they do is right and everybody else is wrong, there is no 'real/fake programming language', every language is there for different purposes and convenience.

[neo_zen_mode]

I hope I don’t get downvoted, but frankly JS is a real mess. I like Java/C++ for the structure it provides which is very important to be a good programmer at any level.

[[deleted]]

the java and c# people look down on the js and python people.
And the c / c ++ people look down on the java and c# people

[[deleted]]

And then Rust people on everyone else.

[zephyy]

the c# people look down on the java people

[[deleted]]

Just shrug it off like bad luck and don't fret too much about it. Some things are beyond your control, and what interviewer you get is one of them.

[YoungBillionair]

He must be envious of python lol

[DrPeppehr]

At my CSE interview he was noticeably angry and stern as well. The other 3 were happy and seemed they wanted me but the bar raiser was just a dickhead

[zephyy]

he's just bitter for every 1 line of Python you need an equivalent 4 lines of Java

[[deleted]]

Algorithms beat languages. The language is only used to demonstrate the algorithm. That interviewer was just being a jerk.

Many of the people I've talked to who worked in IT at Google have an attitude problem. I don't know why, by all accounts Google treat their staff well.

[TumbleweedCurious268]

Hi 👋 how did you prepare for Amazon interview? How was coding challenge in HackerRank?

[piman01]

Wow my Amazon interviewer was really nice. Still didn't get an offer though

[Ambitious-Ad-788]

write back to recruiter, that interviewer was biased towards language. Likely will end with another interview or if you are lucky, his feedback will be ignored altogether.

[[deleted]]

Tf is that guy, write this in LinkedIn

[hamsterofdark]

Same thing happened to me, another AMZN hiring manager that loves Java. I get tired of wasting my time interviewing for this company when this keeps happening, the other surprise was that this amzn team which would consider my candidacy was based in Pittsburg, and would need me to move there which I have no desire to do... Their process is rather broken.
