This is absolute bullshit. I have been part of many panels at Amazon, and subjective criteria like this just doesn't happen.
I haven't conducted a single interview where time wasn't an issue, so I guarantee you that there is just no time to like or dislike the candidate.
What kind of opinion about "likeness" do you think I can form about a person when I have to ask them intense questions over an hour?
Yeah I probably won't like a candidate that is obviously way below the hiring bar, and I will probably like a candidate that provides solid answers to all my questions. That doesn't change at all the outcome of the interview.
> You can't trust a candidate when they complain about why they were rejected. They really don't know.

So, which one is it? Do you have time to like/dislike a person, or not?
