- Crazy Amazon Interview experience I just went through Amazon interview loop for L5. One of the craziest experiences I ever had.

Was asked 1 question here - The easiest question I ever had to
- vote Amazon stock split Analyst predicted that amazon stock price would be around 150$ after the split. Does it have potential to go up by 3-4 times in two to three years? Asking this to consider a job offer. TC: 190k Level 4.
- Congrats Amazon employees! With the recent 20 for 1 stock split and $10B buyback announced, you’re all going to become billionaires if my math checks out. ($2972 + $10B) x 20 = $10,000,059,440,000 Big day. Congrats!

- Seriously, don't join Amazon I didn't take the rumors seriously. I thought it was just techies whining. How wrong I was. Only join if you need a small boost to your resume. Other than that, stay away with a 10 ft pole. This place is the world's leading hub of toxic workplace culture. I would take half the pay to work anywhe

- Amazon vs Bloomberg New Grad UPDATE: Thanks for the advice. For what it’s worth found out I did not get the Bloomberg job which is just as well because I was definitely leaning toward Amazon and not sure I could actually choose to live in NYC if it came down to it… that said it would have been nice to try to use it to negotiate
