Waitlist@Amazon New grad USA
I interviewed with amazon in Jan first week, and it turns out I am waitlisted. Seeing at reddit/leetcode forums it turns out amazon has waitlisted all folks who interviewed for New grad role on or after Dec 9 (visa sponsorship required). So there are about 400-500 students who are waitlisted for new grad position. However one of my friend has interview this week. Does amazon really need this many students as backup? I also got in touch with one manager who was happy to take me in his team. However when he contacted the university recruiting team they told him he cannot pick anyone from the New grad pipeline. This is really frustrating. If there are no more positions why are they still interviewing? And if there positions available for new grad why are they not extending offer to people who are waiting in waitlist from December last week? #amazon
Sounds like college application all over again.
Got picked aftef 12 days of wailist.
Do you require sponsorship ?
No
How many rounds of virtual interviews did you have?
3. But I don't think number of rounds matter
Yes. But I was just wondering if everyone is getting 3 rounds from January
Jesus Christ. Amazon waitlist will soon be as long as the GC queue.
I'm currently on wait-list :/ don't need visa
I could be in the same boat. Was interviewed on April 14 and still waiting to hear back.
Did anyone here get off the wait list?
People renege so that’s why they have waitlist
But don't you think 500 is bit too much?
It depends on how many open roles they hope to fill and the historical accept rate. I wont be surprised if the latter is high.
