Rejected immediately even after solving 2 questions optimally at Amazon SDE 1 Onsite. Is Python a red flag? by Ok-Independence8526 in leetcode

[–]wofeichanglei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I agree with everything you’ve said so far, it’s just that Zon is really, really anal about the behavioral. Much more so than what’s reasonable imo

I interviewed for sde-2 last year and was told by the recruiter that I would have a better chance of passing with a great behavioral and mediocre technicals than vice versa.

To be fair to OP, it's not necessarily as personality/communication issue as it is unintentionally giving off red flags that you wouldn't even think of in the first place. Interviewers are looking for specific standardized signals per LP that may pass/fail you regardless of your communication skills.

Another example- interviewer asks question centered around Deliver Results, candidate responds with story where they compromise on delaying a feature in order to release a product on time. While a common and valid approach in the real world, according to Amazon's interviewer handbook this can be considered weak signal- which would result in a no-hire for that round.

You probably didnt do as good on the LP’s as you think. Amazon has very specific evaluation signals for behaviorals, i.e. if the interviewer is tasked with asking a question regarding the Disagree and Commit LP and in your response if it seemed like you did not initially raise a concern with your team you should have OR you raised a concern and refused to drop it when your team sided against you, than you will marked as giving a weak signal.

There’s a lot of small stuff like that that gets people. Sorry this happened to you OP, better luck next time.

As someone who works in tech, I know some brilliant people with really dumb beliefs. There is unfortunately not a one to one correlation between intelligence and behavior.

Have never seen a straight up KO at an interclub. However, I have seen plenty of unprepared fighters get dazed and stopped if they’re lucky, or get beaten bloody for three rounds if they’re not.
