I interviewed with Amazon last August. They have a cool of period of one year before next interview. However, their recruiters keep sending spam asking if I am interested in position XYZ. When I say yes, they go and check their database and then send me a "not eligible yet" mail.
I emailed Amazon CEO Andy Jesse about this nuisance. He didn't do anything about this. I still get their recruiter spam.

- Beltalowda 4y agoWait, so you interview at Amazon and then you have to wait a full year before you can continue the process? This happens for everyone? Wat? Why? How? What? I am so confused; how can this work well for the candidates or Amazon? I'm looking for a job now; in a year I'll have a different job and if things are going well I probably don't want to leave.
- billh 4y agoI think the parent means that if you're not hired in the process, then you must wait a full year before entering into the candidate pipeline again.
- Beltalowda 4y agoAhh, that makes much more sense! I completely misread that!
- the_svd_doctor 4y agoYou wait a year if you’re not selected and want to try again. You don’t wait a year before you start working there if you are selected :)
- throwawayricha 4y ago>>You wait a year if you’re not selected and want to try again. yes. >> You don’t wait a year before you start working there if you are selected :) Unless you are google where you wait for upto 8 months for team match!
- mrazomor 4y agoThis is similar for many of the Big Tech companies. The expectation is that people grow in a year. If the interview process is sound (I won't go there), it doesn't make sense to keep retrying the process without changing the main input.
