      Software Engineer Interview

      31 Oct 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Amazon (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      I am very disappointed at amazon. 1) They only told me there will the 4-7 of 45 mins interivew back to back, and they will provide lunch. No interview schedule was included, and according to one of the video they sent me, I should get the schedule in the morning from frontdesk or recruiter. When I got their office at 8:45AM (scheduled time), I ended up waited until 9AM to see my 1st recruiter. When I asked him about my schedule, he has to pull me to another recruiter and the 2nd guy pulled it up from his phone and told me there will be 5 interviews. Then they both left and asked me to wait in the lobby again for a different recruiter who set up this interview 9:10AM, an engineer went down to pick me up. He said he is my first interviewer and he was sitting in the room and waiting for me since 9AM. Apparently the recruiter screwed up.... 2) The 4th interviewer has some allergy maybe, and kept on clearing his throat when I was writing code on the chrome book. I was distracted and annoyed, but don't want to be rude so I did not say anything. Still managed finished the code although it took longer because of the distraction. 3) When the 5th interviewer is done. She asked me if I already had lunch or something. I said no. So she pinged someone on IM and told me she is sorry, but I have to go for lunch by myself... 4) According to the recruiter I should get the result within 2 days, and I did not. So I pinged the recruiter on the 3rd day, and he told me they are still waiting for the last bit of feed back to be entered. Then 2 weeks later, I still did not even hear a word from him. Seriously? Don't I deserve an answer after spending 4+ hrs in the whole interview? Most of the interviewers are smart and nice. But the whole interview process is very poorly organized. Why on earth they want to drag a local candidate to downtown seattle at 8:45AM just to finish the whole interview at 12:30PM?? so they don't have to provide lunch? Look like there is no offer for me. That's ok, anyway I don't want to work for a company poorly managed like that.

      Question 1

      Most questions are reasonable. The last question is harder, maybe that is the so called bar raising question
