Amazon's hiring practices are the biggest tell of a sociopathic organization that you should only work for if you have to. If you are good enough to "raise the bar" at Amazon, then you should be good enough to get a better job somewhere else. What Amazon hires for is insecure people desperate for the Amazon stamp of approval and willing to be exploited for insane work hours and discarded before their compensation vests. That's what their hiring process selects for, not actual talent. Then the abuse REALLY starts when you get there. |

They prey on that subset, but they hire for disposable warm bodies in general.
I worked for them for not quite a year, and quit, because it was so absurd how incompetent the many layers of management above were, who took home massive pay for emailing and deriding talented engineers they knew little about.
Disclaimer : I'd already saved more than enough to retire young, so didn't need to work there, just thought it interesting, am pretty sure was assigned to backfill a hire-to-fire departed warm body, and was quickly keenly aware of the scam almost ponzi scheme they run, having spent several years at Apple which was run excellently (where I was).
