it bothers me enough to get cold emails from recruiters, but nothing beats those from amzn.
they sound cocky and pushy and after reading one paragraph, i am ready to reply with a "f--- you".
you dont say "you have been selected for an amazing opportunity bla bla. please reply with your resume and current compensation bla bla" when you email random people on LinkedIn.
even if i applied, i wont disclose my compensation on the first email. lets put that info on my linkedin profile while we are at it.
is it how amzn train them or you guys just hire the dumbest?

the ones from linkedin, google netflix always sound friendly and just looking for an intro to explore further.
are amzn folks dumb or arrogant?
I only dealt with in-house Amazon recruiters, who were much more reasonable than you're describing. I'll guess it's a headhunter/full-time thing, and Amazon uses headhunters more than you'd expect. The people who actually work there full-time are okay.
The interviewers though - that could be random. I've spoken to some awesome awesome guys and some not so.
