Do contractors get pip over performance and how hard to get converted full-time ?
Laid off from Amazon a year ago and this contract role is the only offer I have on hand. It requires me to relocate to Seattle and work 5 days onsite. The hourly rate is $55 and I feel this is very low for a SDE2 role. I’m not entirely sure if this is worth it but i need to start earning money. Has...Read more

My friend got scheduled onsite interviews for amazon sde2 contractor role. Can any one share the process for the same: 1. Do they leadership principles ? 2. Will they ask hld or lld for sde2 ? 3. Will coding questions be hard ? #amazon #contractor

Does Amazon hire SWE contractors? How is their performance evaluated? I heard some companies that hire contractors renew their contract every 6-12 months based on their performance, I’m wondering if it’s the same at Amazon or they have a different setup. Also, in terms of work responsibilities how d...Read more
