Amazon is universally known as the shit tier of tech. They can't hire top grads and people with experience because everyone has heard the horror stories. Sounds like they are optimizing their hiring strategy to mitigate this.

I guess you can subsidize shitty working environments with large salaries

  Amazon also pays much less than the other top tier tech companies. Maybe that's changed in the last 6 months but that was yet another reason why top talent didn't go there.

      Bias obviously. It's commonly known that during the pandemic Amazon was the highest paying FAANG (besides maybe netflix). SDE2s were getting 400k+.

      Compared to Google, Facebook and Apple Amazon pays between 10 and 20% less for the same position according to that site.
