Interviewed by the hiring manager and a tech screen by an engineer from the same team.

Both interviewers were taking notes at the expense of communication. They asked me to summarize to take notes. I have also done my fair share of interviewing and always use my best judgment, taking one or two key points I noticed before writing a review. This interview, however, seemed like a case to satisfy management, pushing for either an A+ or D-.

Secondly, during the tech screen, I was asked to implement a queue using a circular array in 15 minutes. I challenge anyone to do this in 15 minutes unless they have it memorized. The interviewer cut my time short by 5 minutes to allow me to ask questions. I could have used that time to have a shot at a solution with some guidance.

I felt I was a good fit for the projects in the pipeline with my previous experience, but the interview questions and the role's requirements were not a match.

Overall, the interviewers were robotic, disinterested, and lacked empathy. I am not surprised, as they both spent a lot of time at Amazon.
