Amazon recruiter one sentence emails
I randomly got an email from an Amazon recruiter weeks ago to an old email account. I never even talked to her on the phone. She only sends one sentence emails and takes forever to respond or advance to next step. I had to tell her twice I was looking in Bay Area only. She sent a link to a technical test without ever talking to me. (Just one sentence emails with lots of time in between.) I completed the test and she ghosts me for about a week. Then writes one sentence that they want an on-site. Then nothing. Then she wants to talk today. I give her times and nothing. This is real poor candidate experience. Is this common for Amazon recruiters? I have no confidence she even remembers that I’m looking for Bay Area only even though I emailed her this twice. Is this standard for amazon? I’ve never worked w them before.
i remember years ago i interviewed as new grad, other companies F, G, even Oracle, provide awesome lunch experience. but at Amazon, they group all candidates in a room and ordered some pizza hot and bottle water and asked everyone to share.
Name and shame
My interview experience was great. My recruiter spend 1.5 hour on the phone with me to go over the leadership principles. But my friend had a similar experience as yours. So I guess depends on the recruiter you got.
Yup
Yeah it’s too bad not every engineer gets treated like the God they think they are...the earth is still rotating
The recruiter is the face of the company to candidates. Amazon has a terrible reputation already and this doesn’t help, especially when we badly need talent.
yeah, it so bad some mediocre ppl think talented engineer dont need to be treated well.
I had an experience like that even after my onsite and receiving the offer. I think they are just really overworked and can't handle the volume of candidates they're dealing with
