> I learned my lesson two years ago, when Amazon tried to recruit me. I got an email from the company that said they were so impressed by my profile and couldn't wait to start working with me. They needed me, nobody else. I was naive, and the message did flatter me. I learned mine with AWS as well: Scheduled call. They forgot to call. Waited like an idiot for an hour. Ok fine big company yadda, yadda. Had the phone interview. Liked me, called me onsite. Before coming onsite was sent the Leaderhips Princples and told to learn and will be quizzed on them basically. Had 2 offers in hand already and was told they'd get back to me at most 2 days after the interviews. Got to the site. Future manager who was supposed to interview me not there. Whiteboard questions, solve some algorithm puzzles. "Tell me about your worst failure". Most people I talked to would not have even worked with. People did not seem happy, kept warning me about how hard it is to work there and so on. (Subconsciously perhaps telling me to stay away?) Lunch time comes, at least think I'll eat lunch with future team. So I wait, and wait, and nobody shows up. Ended up wondering the hallways exploring. Hoping someone would ask me if I am supposed to be there. Then I got a bit snarky after that and kind of gave up on the chance of wanting to work there. Went home. It took them 3 weeks to call me. But I wasn't surprised by that point.
