I had an interview with two Software engineers. One had worked there for 5 years and the other about 2 years. The first guy I felt had almost no interest in learning about me, he read off a mandatory question with an attitude that felt like I was his 30th interviewee that day. I answered the behavioral question just fine and then he jumped right into the coding question. It was to clone a graph, and I struggled to implement a working solution as I created the node class just fine but couldn't recall how to implement a BFS method for traversing neighboring nodes. I tried to ask clarifying questions, but it didn't really help. He just sat and watched me struggle until the end of his hour and moved onto the next interviewer. There was a noticeable lack of interest or enthusiasm on my interviewer’s part. The second Engineer asked me a number of situational questions and how I overcame particular obstacles, he seemed a little more interested to know about me. He asked me to create a transaction system which I implemented well using the templated class method. I did not get the job, most likely for not being able to implement a working clone graph function. Which is unfortunate as this was something I easily could've figured out from a simple google. This I feel mattered more than my extensive experience in leadership positions, performing difficult tasks in time limited circumstances along with great communication skills. Working as an SDE at AWS is probably a very rewarding career path in many ways, but the engineers interviewing me just appeared extremely overworked, awkward to some extent, and disinterested, which makes me concerned about working there.
