Alternative hypothesis: they did hire the correct people, but working there is so unpleasant that very few people decide to stick around.

- NaturalPhallacy 5y agoI agree, but not in the way which I think you mean. They burn up engineers. What good to them is a burnt out engineer? Who cares, hire another one? It's eerily like the military using up soldiers, and I doubt it's an accident. They're maximizing output for their money and they don't care if it makes the engineers suicidal or quit. They can always get more.

There are plenty of Amazonians who can handle the culture and stay much longer. It's clear they are not hiring those who can do. It's not an "alternative" hypothesis, but the same one. They haven't figured out how to identify those who can handle it. And this, given how heavily behavioral their interview is.
- Dudeman112 5y agoIf they need people who are immune to how much shit their work environment is, they should fix their work environment instead of selecting those who are fine with Victorian sweatshop-like conditions. If the problem was a loud office you'd say they should select for deaf engineers instead of fixing their shit.
