When I saw Atlanta on the list, I felt that it's over. The rail system is far superior to what exists in Seattle & should support reasonable suburban commutes. Georgia Tech's talent supply makes it interesting, but I get the impression that Amazon hires people with more experience than just straight out of college.
- bvod 9y agoAmazon hires plenty people of both classes, recent grads and experienced hires. But from my impression I think they hire more recent grads than any other tech company.
- sf_rob 9y ago> The rail system is far superior to what exists in Seattle & should support reasonable suburban commutes Atlanta has a relatively poor transit system compared to many other cities on the list. The bus system isn't great and MARTA (trains) is quite limited. I left before the beltline was built out, so maybe things are getting better.

- praneshp 9y agoAmazon is one of the biggest new-college-grad hirers. This was true when I was one a few years ago, and it's very true now.
