Today my manager informed our team that we will be having org wide hiring freeze. Location: India Not comfortable sharing city or org.
What do you mean when you say org wide?
Org meaning everyone under VP
In India or all markets?
Wait what? Are they serious? I just got an offer last friday & this is freaking me out
Where are you based?
seattle
I’m asking what defines an org? Is it all Amazon of India. Is it a division.
It's a division
Pretty sure he is only talking about India
Yes
How's the lockdown impacting things in India vs. Seattle HQ? How is WFH support in each location? Wondering if it's org's business or location as main factor
Fake news! Stop spreading rumors and fear.. new requirements are being posted every minute
It's probably just my org
which org
My org as well!!!
Your org is on a hiring freeze? Is this in India or the US?
Also in India ?
No hiring freeze here. US has tons of openings and hiring is at full blast. Our biggest issue is getting SDEs willing to interview during the COVID lockdown - people don't want to do coding interviews via VC and are backing out of loops. PLEASE come interview, I have openings in Seattle and Sunnyvale for Alexa AI!
Coding interviews were WAY easier over computer. I can't imagine why anyone would prefer whiteboard.
Any openings for sde1? :(
Can confirm no hiring freeze in the US. Got contacted twice by a Amazon recruiter in last week. They desperately need someone for atleast that position in that particular team.
Tech or non tech? Freeze should be non tech only
The header of this message should read which team in Amazon (if it's true) and what positions are being impacted. I know AWS and other teams have a lot of positions that they need to fill in the software development side.
Don't want to mention my team. Closing all vacancies for SDE1 and 2. Still hiring for PE
