I was a bar raiser for amazon for a number of years. I've seen a lot of candidates who are quite highly qualified, who did not get offers at amazon because of certain misfirings and traits that they exhibited during the interviews. That was effectively a loss for both the company and the candidate. So i started out, i've always wanted to to have my own team and his own company and build something from scratch.
