Not Eligible For Rehire policy at Amazon
About 6 years ago, during the exit interview, HR told me that I am ineligible for Rehire as I am leaving a week after receiving below average ratings. If I would have stayed with Amazon for another year, fixed my ratings, they would have considered rehiring me. I have an interview scheduled with a team in AWS next week. Neither my recruiter, nor the hiring manager mentioned anything about eligibility to be rehired. Recruiter mentioned that since they have limited access, they are unable to confirm, but also added that the Hiring manager might know, but they might want to wait for interview result as there is a process to get an exception. Can any hiring manager at Amazon confirm if there is an ineligibility window and if it for lifetime or is it 5 years. I don't think asking my hiring manager about this is a smart idea, so reaching out to folks on blind to see if I can get some answers.

I did an internship at Amazon. Did poorly and did not get return offer. Barely 6 months later I have recruiters spamming my inbox. 6 years ago will have 0 impact on you. Good luck.
Just interview forget about the past
Yes, I understand this philosophically, but I still would not want to join a team where the hiring manager or the leadership might have some unconscious bias against me.
Its true that you are marked ineligible for rehire. It can be overriden via exceptions. In your case, 6 years is a long gap so it is possible.
Thanks! If the policy is still to blocklist indefinitely, then it might not be worth joining the company as the manager and the leadership might have some bias based on my past performance. Its not necessarily bad, it just means that I would need to work much harder to establish and the tolerance to failures might be very low.
Doubt it 6 years is too long. Also only HR can see it afaik not mangers
Any update? Are you hired?
So the no rehire has never come up in a background check for you to explain ?
Why submit yourself to this?
Its a great company to work for if you end up getting into the right team. It looks like I am getting the opportunity to build a great product.
