Sure I am disappointed but I am wondering if they did me a favor by keeping me away from all the negative work life balance/politics many are complaining about ?
I call this a life nudge. Everything happens for a reason
Amazon has the lowest bar amongst the FANGS, although the work is quite the same. Sorry but you have to try harder.
Be thankful for getting back 2yrs and move on.
What do you mean 2 years ?
I think it implies that you’ll be out of Amazon after 2 yrs which you already are and that you’ll have no life there!
Avg time for employees staying there. Maybe even less
Yes!!!! Be very grateful. You dodged a bullet. Statistically speaking you would’ve left in 18 months because it’s so toxic here.
But don’t u consider those 18 months on ur resume can now practically land interviews at any other company now ? Unless you were at other fang earlier / from a Ivy League?
I agree. Though I never had trouble getting interviews before as I am from an Ivy League school, I think if one can enter google or Facebook, it would open the same doors elsewhere. But if you are from a tier two company and the only place you get in is amazon, then you should get that name on the resume.
An awful company to work. You need to improve tech skills but also thankful by not dealing with unfairness and stupidity later
Remember that blind is where people come to complain, so that's what you'll see here. Been here 3 years as sde and I'm loving it. I worked for MS, then Google, then fb and now here and I love it.
This really depends on the team. Some teams are great, deliver with impact and have less overhead such as oncall, but others are slammed coz the code is shitty and design too.
Yes. I interviewed on site at amazon about three years ago. they left me hanging for three weeks before they declined to proceed. They seemed pissed that I had a time limit because I had to pick up the kids from school. Even though I was still there for 6 hours. Literally a week later that expose came out. Since then almost everyone I know there has left and said it’s horrible. I consider this was the universe helping me dodge a bullet. Fuck them.
“Dodge a bullet” -> at blackberry? Lmao k lemme know when you’re relevant again
Bb is doing pretty good at services kthxbye
Everyone who calls Amazon toxic are low performers who got in through luck/leetcode memorization. Everyone I know in Amazon who has talent are happy, getting paid high, and continue to get fat raises for high performance. WLB is not an issue because they have raw talent. Keep studying. Dont half ass it or rush it. And try the other companies. Amazon isn't always easier than other FAANG. Luck is a major factor. (My friend got 4 leetcode easys at google plus a system design which was reasonable)
This!
How can someone get 4 LC easy at Google?how do they benchmark the performance in interview compared to others?

how can i loose 5 pounds with small changes to lifestyle
No. You need to regret because you lost your chance for a great learning experience. If you were Rejected by Amazon there's a big change you won't make it into other FANG either. Get back to leetcoding and improvise before your next interview
Also improve.
Yes i agree. From what i have been told out of Facebook google and Amazon, amazon has the easier bar to meet
