I accepted an offer last week and Alexa Recruiting sent me a 3rd gen Echo Dot as a welcome gift. An uncharacteristic freebie? Odds that it’s flagged as an employee device and is bugged? TC: Echo Dot
I didn’t receive any. So sad 🙁
I got a fucking backpack when I was there. Then when I left 5 years later, they asked for it back.
They might ask for it back when if you don’t end up joining! FRUPID

Lucky you, people don’t get anything
I got a jacket for Google...
I got Google cardboard.
I did not even get the silly google hat at Google
This has always been part of Amazon culture. Contrary to popular beliefs, managers at Amazon do have some discretionary budget. Pre-kindle days it was called book-bombs I think. Welcome to Amazon. Good luck with your career.
What is the welcome gift at other top tech companies?
got a MacBook air during my internship. Good old days in San Francisco.
SN gives notepad backpack water bottle jacket and t-shirt
