Amazon new grad 2021 [Biased & Discriminated] Interview

I am a recent grad.
I applied to recent grad position. 4 of my friends applied too.
On June 25th I received email saying that lets move forward with the application.
June 26th - Debugging round done
June 27th - OA done, Completed in 40mins.
June 29th - Completed 3rd round(principles)
Others received telephonic interview confirmation the same day itself after completing 3rd round.
I received 3 days later.
Everyone received 30min telephonic interview.
Friend1,Friend2,Friend3,Friend4 - 20mins of walkthrough over the code and explaining complexities!
ME - 20mins of walkthrough over the code and explaining complexities!

Here is the fun part:
Everyone(no prior experience at all) received offer confirmation the same day itself.
ME (has 3 yrs prior experience) received an email after 3 days saying we wont be moving forward.

Possibilities:

  • The interviewer(senior software manager[AWS][seattle]) who interviewed me, must be showing some kind of favoritism towards candidates.
  • The hiring recruiter must have been confused with my previous application and marked it negative.
  • I MUST HAVE BEEN ON DRUGS WHILE LOOKING AT REJECTION EMAIL (coz there is no way someone would reject for my answers and explanation)

Amazon Principles they followed:

  • Are right, A lot.
  • Hire and develop the best.

I can clearly see these principles being applied here. WOW!!

It was a wonderful & fantastic experience overall (ofcourse sarcasm)

I request someone from the AWS team to take my final round again. I wouldnt be in this much of frustration if I have felt that I lost the interview.
Everything was so perfect. There was not even one question I couldnt answer correctly. Not even once I went blank. But still am here, trying to figure out why life is so cruel.
