So I am considering Amazon position after having worked outside for a few years. Would the new hiring manager /loop have access to previous reviews and PIP status etc? Would it affect me in any other way even if interviews go well?
It depends on whether the manager flagged you as โEligible for Rehireโ or not. I have seen couple of managers who put people on PIP and flagged them as ineligible for rehire.
It's HR that puts the flag.
Yes, you would have been marked as a non-regrettable leaver. Aka, they were secretly pleased you left of your own accord and frankly they don't want you back.
I would think you would not even get an interview if you were flagged.
If you were on a PIP when you left you are marked as ineligible for rehire. Need VP level approval to bypass it. If you completed PIP successfully and review was ok then you are fine but hm has access to your file.
Are you in BMC?
