I used to get one to two Amazon recruiter emails per month asking me to interview for Amazon. However, during these past few months I have been getting Amazon emails almost 2 - 3 times a week. Is it just me or does anyone else notice Amazon recruiting more aggressively recently? Most people that I see on my LinkedIn that are joining Amazon are new grads/junior. Read somewhere on Blind saying that Amazon is running out of people to hire for SDE2 and above. Is this true?
Yes, it's true. It is useless to join here. Have spent around 1.5 yrs in 2 teams, learnt nothing. Planning to switch companies.
Sounds like the teams didn't have good opportunities. I learned a ton in 2 years, arguably more in the second year despite it being the same team
Can I get a referral before you leave man?
Can confirm our team cannot make a hire. All candidates bailed after getting an offer.
Wasn’t Amazon hiring just to fire them 6 months later?
I’ve been emailed 4 times this week and Thursday is just starting lol
Seems like it’s true. Why are there still some Amazon people defending Amazon like it’s a super good company. The PIP culture is detrimental for the society and the culture might spread to other companies. Heard some exAWS managers at Google are horrible.
We have some exAWS managers and directors here at PP too, they’re horrible as well
I think my question is why is there a still a vocal minority whining about one of the most documented visible performance improvement processes in the industry. The pip cultural as the blind shills would paint it doesn't exist in the vast majority of cases. It's usually just shit employees failing to meet reasonable expectations which amazon had a lot more of due to sheer volume
Some SDE 2 who can clear Amazon hiring bar can very well do multiple interviews and get multiple offers which are better.
We definitely aren't running out of candidates. Both amazon internal transfer reach outs and external applicants
I think someone ran a poll in the Amazon chat, over 50% of the internals are looking for another job…. Please absolutely sucks
Nah… I interviewed and they didn’t hire me. Said I did well but not for that role.
Same here. But I guess it's a blessing.
Same with me.
A lot of exodus posts on the Amazon channel
Damn…hope Amazon doesn’t implode. I like Amazon’s product just not the working culture.
I bet the Amazon channel is entertaining to read
