Bowl Leader
Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

Even if the bench isnt big...are you learning the skills that you will need in the future.
I spent some time at pwc and realized that pwcs advisory practice doesnt really teach problem solving skills. They teach you how to follow an audit checklist and present it in an incredibly polished way.
With all the talk layoffs over the last 24 months at pwc...i wold look for a firm that does a better job of giving their consultants marketable skills.
Lol s& you're making yourself look like a fool. Have nothing against y'all, but we are definitely struggling. Integration hasn't been going well, and tons of my friends are on the bench (deals strategy). Saw people jump to Deloitte s&o
Demand managers should be fired, and they should hire monkeys to update talent link instead since they cost nothing but bananas.
Not sure what SC1 is talking about my experience has been nothing of the sort.
Bench since October...? Jesus. Do you go to the office or sit at home? I would be looking for work in other groups if yours isn't providing projects. You gotta look out for yourself
FS is apparently doing well since the election
I'm scared. Been on the bench since October. But I'm also a new hire...
Are you sure you're not talking about the 10% cuts in IFS? I'm in FS and we don't have a deep bench right now so I'm surprised they would be laying off 10% of folks.
Agreed on the skills comment. Leadership honestly doesn't give a fuck about teaching us things. It's just the honest truth.
If I get laid off I'm screwed. Spent all of my savings on moving here from undergrad. Lol would take a miracle to make rent next month
With the salaries S& gets paid I wouldn't have a tolerance for them on the bench either..
Shiiiiiiiiiiit I have a lot of friends in CIPS. I'm hoping this is just more #fakenews
Public Sector is running strong if my sources are correct.
No need to jump ship if you are doing well. Sounds like now isn't the time to hit the bench, so time those roll off dates correctly
We cut 10% last year, hired a couple new people, three people left, and we currently have no bench.
My team is well run, I just have an issue with how staffing works. It's every man for himself. The demand manager does nothing to help, newbies are left in the lurch unless they have good coaches (which I did when I started, fortunately).
I can refer you to Accenture =]
P9, in Chicago and I know a lot of oct/sept new hires across the board that have yet to be staffed or were just now staffed. Specifically in CIPS
An MD told me that he got word we are trimming 10-15% in all advisory. So that's close to 2-3000 people.
That's serious layoff. Nothing natural
Wait........ what? Are you SURE you're not talking about IFS? Also, is the mantra "if you're good you're fine" still applicable?
