No day goes by without reading the stories/comments on Blind that someone interviewed at Amazon for fun and got the job. Which better explains this??

    It’s funny I had offers from snap, Facebook, google and a few more and failed amazon.

    I think the LP bs’ing is ridiculously hard. I can’t do it lol

      I think Amazon works better for extroverts. I also think that why its gets so much hate as most engineers are introverts

    You don't hear reject stories because usually there's nothing to brag about. Also, Amazon is huuge

  • Selection bias.

    Active Blind engineers are probably better than average, and no one is gonna report "ohh I got rejected in XYZ interview" on social media.

    If everyone on here could get into amazon, amazon wouldn't be desperate eh? They pay more than most non-FAANG / non-unicorns / non-HFT types, and that's easily the vast majority of tech jobs by sheer numbers.

    I actually find Amazon interviews in my experience of the harder ones.

    Reasons are probably:
    1- Lots of openings
    2- People like to brag

      I agree. I felt they were pretty hard.
      In general though, the team was great and the interviews were not easy. I ended up not joining 🤷🏿‍♂️
