I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Nordstrom
Interview
It started well with HR and scheduled a hiring manager interview. I believe I provided the optimal working solution for a given problem. The next day, received a Thank you for .... the candidacy rejection email. Asked for feedback HR did not provide. I felt like it was a fake interview conducted for the internal visa process. Like they were just making paper trails to back the visa application.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nordstrom (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2021
Interview
Very bad interview experience.
Phone interview - interviewer is a senior software engineer manager. It feels as though the interviewer only has a fixed answer in mind, and everything else you answered were not acceptable.

1. How do you find out the largest S3 bucket you have?

4. How do you connect lambda to S3. (I explained how you can use notifications to trigger a lambda and what's the overall worflow. The interviewer cut me off. Turns out he only wants me to mention IAM role)
