Amazon team matching

Interviewed with amazon around 20 days ago for an sde-2 position. Recruiter told I did well on all rounds except system design, they decided to down-level me to sde-1 and they don't have any sde-1 openings in their team, so he referred me to an internal talent acquisition leader to match my profile to an open position. It has been two weeks but I haven't heard back, let alone about positions but not even a sync up call to talk about my experience, areas of interest. Did anyone face this issue and how likely am I to get a team? Y.O.E - 4.5, all at cerner working on legacy, age old tech stack #amazon #recruitment #teammatching

Same boat. I've been waiting for 2 months. Recruiter told me that they don't have L4 positions at the moment.

Any update?

GrubHub LonLopRice Aug 30, 2020

Well, I was told that they don't have any open positions and they will let me know when they have something. I kinda moved on.

I’m in similar situation. Been in team matching for about 6 weeks. There seems to be a lot of us sde1s in team matching right now judging by the posts on blind.

Cerner qLcG61 OP Aug 14, 2020

Avoid joining. Instead use that as competing offer to match.

SDE 1 positions are more rare

@everyone_in_same_boat Is there an update? I still haven't heard anything from the recruiter.

Have you received an update? I’m very much in a similar position as you. I received verbal offer for SDE I in nyc. I have 4.5 YOE so they downleveled me too without any feedback really. They originally told me there was a spot open but then a day later they said it’s no longer available and they will look for different teams for me. I’m hoping I won’t be left stranded

Guys any update here from anyone? People who have been waiting since August, anyone ended up finding a team?

Capital One bigPetePod Oct 1, 2020

Yea I got matched a week after my post. I’ll be starting in a week or so!

Congrats.. How Many weeks did it take you since the verbal confirmation? Were you also down levelled initially?
