My petty revenge against amazon mistreating my partner when they worked there is to aggressively pursue onsite interviews with them. I refuse to do initial phone screens - a tactic which often works to go directly to onsite since amazon is clueless and desperate.
I don't study for their stupid whiteboards and I don't study their stupid leadership principals. I on purpose refuse to use them during behavioral interviews (also refuse use the STAR method). I've had at least 5 full onsites like this. By my calculations, the wasted time and effort from amazon on myself was worth at least 100K given the number of highly paid engineers/managers who wasted their time interviewing me.

- CoastalCoder 3y agoI'm filled with a combination of respect and pity for you. But those emotions are dwarfed by Amazon-directed Schadenfreude. Well done, sir/madame.
