That does make a lot of sense. One question I have is how this practice will affect their reputation. My theory is that the reputational damage will most adversely affect their ability to hire more experienced workers. But maybe their plan is to hire more people fresh out of college and bring them up internally (the ones that don’t get URA’d anyway), in which case the reputational damage may not matter as much?
It still seems like a pretty big long term gamble to me. I have to think a lot of experienced workers will be reluctant to even consider working at a place with this level of shenanigans. I know I would be.
- ToxicMegacolon 5y agoI do believe that Amazon has irrevocably hurt its image. You only need to spend like a week using the Blind app and you'll run into a few horror stories about amazon. There were posts on the blind app regarding how amazon has been having trouble hiring experienced folks. I am also seeing increased linkedin posts from Amazon SDMs in my network, all advertising positions they have open on their team. > maybe their plan is to hire more people fresh out of college and bring them up internally In addition to new grads, amazon also depends on L1 visa imports from India and other countries. And maybe H1 hires here. Its not easy to switch jobs on visa besides you need to stay at a company for 2-3 years to get green card, so it works out in Amazon's favor. My guess is they are feeling the pinch now because Covid is bad in India, and India to US travel is stopped, So visa pipeline has dried out significantly.
