So I heard from the recruiter today. This is his email.
Hope you're good, thanks for your patience in waiting for the interview results. I have the feedback and unfortunately we don't want to proceed with your application.
I would like to set up some time to share the feedback with you, to help you get better for the future.
Would you be able to book some time in my calendar?
On the plus side, I did book a meeting with them on Thursday, I'm curious what feedback will be provided. My interview went from the allocated 45 mins to 90 minutes so I'm a bit puzzled why I was turned down. Did I not ask enough questions? I'm wondering now what's going on.
This is the first time I've failed an interview despite exceeding the allocated interview time, I wasn't targeting to exceed the interview time, but this was what happened. I mean if the guy didn't want to talk to me why'd he spend so much time. It doesn't make sense.
It looks like I won't be going to Google after all. I really was more interested in working in the country itself than the company. I guess this means I'll be moving to New Zealand at some point now. I'm pretty tired of doing interviews. There's even a whole industry now building up on how to get jobs in these tech companies, how to pass an interview. It's just madness. No more tech company interviews for me again, ever.
I'll update this post again after I get feedback on Thursday.
So I've gotten feedback, it's Thursday night/Friday morning now.
- I made assumptions but didn't validate them
- How to decide if migration is necessary or even necessary
- Had experience with production systems, mentioned best practices but not from own experience
- Assumed that alerts meant disk space
- Didn't justify .. if disk alerts are necessary or VMS are necessary
+ I'm very, very strong in communication
+ Achieves mutual understanding from parties
+ Good at identifying solutions
+ Good at gathering main requirements
+ Good at asking lots of questions
+ Good at building large scale systems
So Amazon thinks I can't face customers but Google believes I'm very, very strong at communication. That makes sense right... not. Okay whatever, I made assumptions as I went along but didn't validate them, guess I should have asked more questions. I get it.
I followed up to ask if there were other positions and the recruiter told me that the other positions are too junior for me.
Alright so that's the end of that. I doubt I'll be interviewing with Google or Amazon again.
