Should I shave my beard for MBA interviews?
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?

Uh. Am I the only one who thinks that this is inappropriate in the middle of a global pandemic?

We're in a country where we have only a handful of cases, so we're all well and safe.
Yes, should be. Fingers crossed for you!

Kinda weirded out that they are asking this during a pandemic. It’s a small red flag. But a good sign if you want the job I guess?
I think it’s pretty normal for smaller agencies to do this. Generally it’s just a vibe check. Are you a good person to be around? Can you get along with a team? Nothing too crazy but usually (in smaller teams) it’s more important that you are someone they want like having around rather than an “incredible” creative.
They’re just checking that you don’t have a tail, walk on all fours and eat with your feet.
Chemistry check. Go be yourselves. They want to know if they’ll like the people they’ll be spending so much time with and if you fit with their vibe.
it’s a compliment. your work is obviously good enough. now is when they actually see if you are the type of person they wanna have a beer with. crucial to a small agency.
