Amazon Software Engineering Manager (SDM) Interview: Managing Performance

well, the answers were good. However, shouldn't this be in a STAR format?

The questions asked for concrete examples, the answers were hypotheticals.
I interview people and this is common of people I vote against. Even the interviewer switched to asking hypotheticals after the first 2 non-answers.
Not taking much from the interviewee as he has the position. The last answer regarding contingencies was how things really work.

Doesn’t work.

a question: if I know someone will slip the deadline, is it a bad idea to let them fail? then talk to them after the failure?

Most of these mocks never give any examples. I know that some of these guests can't share most of their personal experiences but it's a bit dangerous to share videos like this to help people but give them the impression that they can talk in theoreticals and pass an interview.

one of the better ones out there.ty

Rob those jobs.

This candidate looks clever n possess negative aura, all theories only, n lying

Engineering manager interviews are all stories n talks, complete shallow talks. EM is lazy job at the end of the day, I recently made move into EM after being an Architect but I feel like I am not doing much although my stakeholders are happy. Meeting, talk n talk, that's it

This was one of the best interviews. Congrats Suman!

Wow, performance management coaching by an Amazon SDM, just what the industry needs - said no one ever

When he says every member should have a voice, his eyes say that he is lying, he will PIP you if you don't agree. Typical Amazon manager says something and does something else

What's that CRT TV in background?

Pip

Thanks Suman!

The best interviewees would share the stories they experienced. How they handled the problems, and how they resolved (or failed) the issue. And, what they learned from that. In real life, most engineering teams work is very boring and how to motivate employees is a true challenge.

Nothing special, everything from the “book”

Good conversations. I dont think it is necessarily too abstract like others say. Although if he was being interviewed, would be nice with more examples. Still good to hear his views
