Contract to hire position at Amazon

My wife got a call for contract to hire position in Alexa team. Pay is low as a contractor but recruiter told there is option to convert to Full Time in 6 months. What are the chances of conversion ? Can Amazon managers/employees please chime in? #engineering #software #swe #amazon #alexa

Sounds exploitative

You would still have to go through the entire interview loop. It won’t be a simple conversion

If she accepts the role and is successful in the role then they will hire her. I work at Amazon.

It’s not that simple, conversion at Amazon from a contractor to full-time is one of the most complicated and consequential processes in the industry.

For getting converted there will be a complete set of interviews including BR and interviewers.

The conversion won't be simple. She's gonna have to work her ass off and go through a full interview loop at the end. But to be honest with you, they're starting to cut contracts and they're not converting any contractors to full time right now across many non Tech and Tech other jobs. So don't put all of your eggs in one basket.

If she has to go through full interview loop in the end, there is no point in taking up the contract role. Thanks for sharing this.
