Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Nowadays companies tend to take 5-6 rounds of interview and
One of my friends had gone through a similar procedure for 3 companies now- all into Fintech(one is a big MNC doing good and the other ones are startup) initially they moved forward with the CTC although they didn't have the budget and after 6 rounds of interview(5 general rounds and 1 to be more sure). 
I don't know how you cannot be sure of someone after 6 rounds of interview and why companies are not transparent about the CTC they can afford.
It has happened to a lot of my known SDEs including myself. 
Just wanted to vent out, just because of the ongoing market conditions, companies are troubling the candidates a lot.
Did you guys also have similar experiences?

A new trend going on... 💀

I interviewed for data engineer at Amazon in feb. I was told that my profile has been put on hold because so meone else has been chosen internally. Now recruiter comes up with BI engineer role. Got selected. I didn't say anything because I just wanted to get out of TCS at all costs. Now she's demanding that I must join them on 22 april, which is less than 2 weeks away. Are they trying to back me off? Because the request is unreasonable. They haven't yet released offer letter, salary negotiations haven't taken place. Should I ask for offer letter first? Or ask for early release with TCS? What should my plan of action. Need advice.

Did you face any consequences later in your career because of the karma?

Left a job on bad term?

Read news recently about Amazon being set to lay off again with about 9000 employees. 

Hypocritically the same Amazon was found to be hiring a few days back for some roles in Customer Support and a few others.

Amazon another round of layoffs

Strategy & Operations

A Bloomberg report revealed that Amazon has conducted yet another round of layoffs. And people working in its audio streaming platform have been affected. Sources told Bloomberg that employees from Amazon Music's editorial and audio content team have been given the pink slip.

An Amazon spokesperson told Bloomberg that the company has been keeping a close eye on their "organisational needs" and has been prioritising what matters the most to customers keeping the businesses long-term health in mind. To fulfil this, some roles in the Amazon Music Team have been eliminated.

One more round of Amazon layoffs

Public Relations

Now I seek to work at FAANG. Can anyone refer me in Amazon?

Recently affected by layoffs at my startup of 2.5 years.

I was laid off in February. Finally after 2.5 months of boring interviews and life, landed a job. Today was Day 1. 
I was outside India for a while doing crazy stuffs. I returned in June and then started applying. Here is the summary. 
1. Lots of applicants in the job market. Every job would attract 1000s of applicants 
2. Most jobs require high experience - 5+ 
3. Applying and finding companies who are hiring is tough. 
4. Emailed everyone in network, took referrals from all friends, took referrals from LinkedIn (very low response), Applied on instahyre, Wrote to startup founders, applied Wellfound, Workday(worst of all), Naukri 
5. Startups are the worst - gave petty assignments and ghosted after getting solution. Had to follow up multiple times but to no avail. They ate my whole 1 month
6. Some interviews were different - in one I had to code in python very fast. That's it. Wasn't selected as I was looking up for syntax on internet. 
7. Overall it was a very boring and tiring process. I somehow maintained my sanity. 

YoE- 2
TC- 29L ( Base +PF)

Laid off in Feb. Landed a job now.

Tough time never last but tough people do  
 Great 🔥

Hi folks,

My friend informed me that he has been put in a coaching plan at Amazon. He is really confused & demotivated and doesn't know what's next for him ?

It would be really helpful if anyone can provide insights about how to come out of it or if failed, what will be the next action that can be taken.

Thanks.

Amazon - put in a coaching plan. What to expect next ?

All the things that can only be learnt from experience and you would not necessarily find in books anywhere... also, what you had not expected would be so important when you were initially starting out ✍🏻

What are some lessons you have learnt after all your years in the industry?

I've recently interviewed with Amazon, and the experience was shit. Although I exceeded all the expectations set, I was Not hired because they had made that specific role for internal candidates only. Why do these people waste our time if they have no intention in hiring outside people... Such a waste..
