I have done a round one interview and I don’t see how it can be interpreted to do anything but turn away people with a brain.

Memorize Amazon’s insane company values and relate your resume experience to it. And that I mean every single bullet point.

Interviewers were all run by robotic people. Coding test had zero flexibility, you had to just write code in a special barebones text editor that had zero feedback besides pass/fail.

You’d have to solely care about Amazon RSUs to consider that job. They are self-selecting for the worst kinds of candidates.

The dumb thing is that it should be a job that doesn’t burn people out because they basically own the market and haven’t needed to do any sort of innovation. Amazon’s corporate culture just has a burnout fetish.
