Amazons excessive interviews are an awful candidate experience. Why do they think this will help them win top talent in this competitive environment? Especially with their public cultural issues…? Lots of great paying companies without having to take a day off from work to interview! It’s overkill

I think in many cases “winning” top talent isn’t necessarily their goal. Their process selects for certain behaviors, willingness to jump through those hoops, etc. It’s likely not a process that is competitive with other FAANG (or whatever the acronym is this week) companies that pay in the same ballpark, but compared to many other companies, including tech companies, it represents a lot of money. The value of bringing in a person who is good enough to do the job and happy with the pay because it’s so much higher than their last job is what’s most important to them.
