After several years of high quality work, positivity and passion I’d like to announce May 30th is my last day at my current agency, not by choice but because I’m being laid off....life blows sometimes

Laid off and they make you give them two weeks? Ouch. Karma will come around and you’ll get something better

Nah just a two week heads up

Saaaame. I’m glad they gave you heads up tho. Back up them files! Other places can be a bit cruel and cut you off immediately.

Yup

Two months into that. Stay strong

Same, but be thankful they had that communication with you. HR swung by my desk and asked me to bring my things. No appearance, follow up email or text from my supervisors or anyone my senior. Doesn't bode well when they've consistently preached that the 'people here are our best asset'

2 weeks or 2 minutes it still sucks, I’m under the assumption they only did it to try and save face

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
