I received my Amazon interview results for Alexa AI Seattle today. My recruiter told me my feedback is positive and I am in inclined to offer stage. However the team that I was interviewing for doesn't have head count anymore. She is trying to find new teams for me but it will take some time. My deadline to register to graduate is tomorrow. I was waiting on this decision to decide whether to graduate in summer (July) or in fall (because of the hiring freezes at the moment) My recruiter told me that I should register because she is trying her best to find a team but it can take time. Is it possible that she is unable to find a team ? I am an international student, so I need to have an offer secured close to graduation and thus very worried about this. Not sure what should I do. Please help me! Also if someone is an hiring manager who is still hiring SDE1, please dm me. I have strong professional experience working on an intersection of software development and ML. #amazon

    Something very similar happened to me when i joined amazon. Was accepted in interview, team had internal issues and stopped hiring (Aug). Recruiter said will find a different team. Nothing for awhile. I talked to two other recruiters cause each recruiter has specific departments. Finally in Dec i got a team and the actual offer. Started in Jan. So for me it did take 4 months for the new team. Though i would say that it depends on what kind of team you’re looking for. If you’d be fine with any team then pretty sure you’ll find it earlier.

      OP
      I am trying for SDE 1 backend, was initially preferring ML team that is why interviewed for Alexa AI but given the crazy hire freeze, wouldn't mind any good team where I get to learn.

    Just curious - how many days after your interview did you get your verbal “offer”?
