Amazon is known as PIP factory and there are numerous stories that people are hired just to be fired to protect the real full timers. So why are you still applying and interviewing there? Especially true for junior roles. I don’t get it. Isn’t this insanity?
I had a loop last week for SDE 2 and the interviews went well and I was able to solve all the coding questions and also design questions but I received an email saying I did not make it. Not sure why they did not hire me. I even emailed HR the same question but she said it's against the policy and m...Read more

From the last few posts on Blind it's clear that nobody is safe at Amazon even if you're paid well.
