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?
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?

I know someone years ago who put in the wrong settlement instructions on a $1Bn trade against THB over a Thai holiday. Took us days to get the money back and cost in the region of $350k to make right (interest claim from other side as well as rates moved against us).
He was moved from the role and although he stuck around for another year he was black marked at that point onwards and moved out of banking altogether after that role.
Since then, I’ve seen plenty of technology based screwups around poor decision making and yet some of those people seem to continue... somehow.
Been my experience that at the VP and below level they only fire you for making major mistakes if it is a pattern as opposed to a one - off
