Besides H1Bs, and fresh graduates (who don't have any choice), I don't understand how Amazon can still higher Software engineers. I understand that Amazon teams are diverse, but as a candidate with any other possible option, how could anyone even consider amazon considering everything that's been written about the company already.
- freyir 8y agoI interviewed onsite a few weeks back and got bad vibes from five of the six interviewers. A few seemed to hate being there, and the others seemed like nightmares to work with. One guy was cool, though.
- hwj6etsd90lb 8y agoHow about because Amazon develops some of the most interesting and innovative products out there? AWS, Alexa, Go Store, to name a few? I've worked on several AWS services, and I'm very proud of being a part of them and of AWS in general. I bet there are very few other places where I would find problems this interesting or of this scale. If you have some experience, you probably know better than just look for a job at company X - you probably choose specific role in a particular team or product. And Amazon sure does have a lot of great products with very interesting positions.
- itslennysfault 8y agoThere are plenty of companies that have interesting projects and don't have such a toxic culture. GCP and Azure are the exact same technical challenge as AWS without all the Amazon BS.
