I am contacted by an Amazon recruiter at least once a week. I’m sure every engineer I know is. I wonder how much of their money they blow on recruiting and how much engineering time is spent in interviews replacing all the burned out engineers. Plus all the talent that won’t even entertain a job at Amazon.
Also got a staff software engineer from Facebook who added me on there, and had in their title "hiring". lol.
I think there's some Bezos quote about people being lazy and it being easier to extract labor from fresh hires trying to prove themselves.
As in they consider retention unimportant, and something to not prioritize?
Because it sure seems that way.
