I've been at Amazon for like 4-5 years now. Recruiting quality and practices are widely bemoaned. It sucks on both sides of the fence. We'll sit through brutal interviews because recruiting just throws everything at the wall in hopes something will stick. It's demoralizing for everyone involved.

Even the little things drive me insane. I get emails from lazy, zero-effort recruiters asking if I'd like to join Amazon because "they saw my profile on Linkedin and it looked like a great fit!" Like, holy shit, can you not put in even a little bit of effort? You're just shotgunning canned emails all over the place making us all look like spammy dopes?

Sigh...
