I interviewed with Expedia few weeks back and the HR called me one week later told me I’m getting all positive feedback but to meet diversity requirements they need to keep interviewing more candidates from different backgrounds and will let me know this week. However today HR told me there are still more interviews and will contact me next week the earliest. I wonder am I just a backup? If they always have to wait till they’re happy with the diversity wouldn’t they lose some promising candidates to other companies that take a action quicker? Anyone who interviewed with them, please share some of your experiences with me. Thanks!
If you are a Asian/Indian/White man you will get an offer only if there are no women/Blacks/Hispanics/Native Americans/Pacific Islanders that are qualified for the job. In practical terms, you will get an offer if there are no qualified women. There is almost nobody from the other underrepresented groups that even applies.
DEI will destroy America . Chyna will soon be the super power
Fuck you Amazon
I interviewed a couple weeks ago and also “had good feedback” but was told there were more candidates that the team wanted to talk with and that no decision was made yet.
Interesting… I guess this is what they do then. I was a fool to believe they really want me just bc the first time HR called he made it sounds like I will be getting the offer and also asked me not to accept any offer without talking to him first. Now I am starting to feel I’m just a backup. Just out of curiosity, you don’t happen to interview for the data science position do u?
Not data science. I even told them I had a competing offer, and nothing. I did end up accepting the competing offer for likely far more than they would pay.
Be prepared for a slow process. I got a informal decision about me being selected in an hour after my final call with the hiring manager in the beginning of June. But here I am today, waiting for my visa transfer to finish and then decide a start date. The informal offer, getting the offer approved, accepting it, immigration(might not be true for everyone). Each of these phases are gonna take time.
