On F1 visa and didnt get selected in the last attempt of h1b. My GF works for google and just said to me why I didnt try with any consultancy. Amazon is not like Google that I should be sad even if I have to leave and join a consultancy for some time to sort out work visa. I was offended but dont know if its the truth or not. Also didnt want to join a consultancy just for a visa when amazon was supporting with a contingency plan.

YOE: 8 (3 in amazon)

    Amazonโ€™s hire to fire, cheapness in the name of frugality, and low comp policies did a lot of damage to its reputation. Now things are improving with higher pay bands as a real positive change but it will take years to undo the damage.

    What's consultancy? Do you mean like McKinsey etc or some Indian stuff like Wipro?

    My friends told me to choose nutanix over Amazon based on prestige, and nutanix has no prestige, so maybe that answers your question

    An ex classmate called 3 of his friends to help him on his Amazon OA. Few minutes ago I read his LinkedIn post about how blessed he is for joining Amazon so โ€ฆ

      having such a low hiring bar is actually pretty important to ensure that there are people who are eligible for the URA quota. Having these people around increases my job security a little bit, even though anyone can be next up on the chopping block.

      Amazon doesn't have a video interview for new grads that do decent on the CA (coding assessment) I believe.
