I'm an SDE I at Amazon coming up on the 1 YoE mark. I tried sending out resumes (online) to a bunch of small companies to see if the Amazon tag would improve my callback rate. However, I've been resume rejected everywhere. Is it related to my YoE? Or is Amazon's reputation turning people off?
I thought that working here would at least get me some interviews...
TC: 150 (not related at all, but someone asked)

They ultimately see your yoe and then reject. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Again before anyone jumps on me not generalising but sharing an experience of ours. Thus right now Amazon candidates are seriously vetted for my business unit at all levels for collaboration. I think it might also be because these two people came from high stress amazon teams and might have been pipped or experienced the bad side. But most of Amazon is this way except for few intermediary green pasture. Our team generally also does not allow boomerang back from Amazon now for same reason.
