Amazon Recruiters All Bark and no Bite? SDE2 Offer Deadline Looming
I have an offer from Amazon but I'm waiting for another company I interviewed at to wrap up their review process. I busted my ass getting through both interviews and I want to hear offers from both companies. Amazon gave me a hard deadline for the 27th before they withdraw their offer even after I told them I'm waiting for the other company to finish their review. Unless I get news today it's looking like the other company won't have finished in time.
A bird in hand may be worth two in the bush but I'm thinking how could they possibly withdraw an offer completely if I need another week to decide? I've gone my whole life without working at Amazon and they seem to be doing fine so how is another 7 days going to kill them?
Are they all bark and no bite? What do you think will happen if I stand firm on wanting to wait a bit longer?
Side note it'd be pretty unprofessional to give two weeks at this time of year anyway with the office all on holiday. My experience with Amazon recruiters so far has been they are very pushy and need to chill out a bit.

If you start using any moving services though you'd have to pay those back
If you think they should chill a little, that's basically a preview of what Amazon wants you to become once you join!
