Got an interview request from Amazon for Sr. Digital Marketing Manager. I have been interviewed by and worked for multiple big names like Mcafee, Meta, Microsoft but never by Amazon. I’m wondering how’s their hiring process, what kind of questions and tasks are waiting for me, how many steps are there etc.
Thank you in advance, everyone!

I bring my dog to daycare 2 or 3 days a week. He gets the interaction with other dogs, plus it tires him out. He loves it!

I use a private home through Rover.com and he doesn't have a camera. He had a lot of great reviews and he's close to my office. I got to go do a meet and greet before I brought him there. The guy sends me at least 8 pictures a day too!
I owned a doggie day care and highly recommend them.
To VP1s comment, yes things happen when dogs get together. Same as things happen when kids get together. Can't shield them from everything.
Yes for private dog sitters. Use Rover.
Take my dog 2 days/week most weeks. Good for socialization and activity (plus they give baths). Love my spot and love supporting a minority-owned business. They know and love my Pepper and it is great to see others love him.

Pass. I’ve heard too many stories of doings being hurt or picking up bacteria or stuff [same with the dog park]. I have a high energy jack russell terrier that needs a lot of exercises 3-4 30-45 minute walks a day - and good for the owner too :)
I’m doing the lunch walk now - I’ll switch back to a walker 3x a week when I head back to the office in September.
My folks take their dog to a kennel/training/agility/daycare facility that has a pond and like 15 acres - happens to be about ten minutes from their house. They are great and the dog, and mine too when she goes, love the place. Most reputable/respectable places will not put a psycho dog in with the general population. My parents dog, for example, is a d*ck and he mostly just plays with the owners dogs because they get along. He basically just becomes part of their little herd doing chores around the (effectively) farm.
Your mileage may vary, obviously, but what it’s done for my folks and their beast has been absolutely outstanding.
We love it for our dog.
I no longer take my dog to daycare due to her age. But please, please, please do your research. Search reviews, ensure they are reputable, ask a lot of questions. My dog has been to two facilities. The first started going downhill as the owners started hiring staff which seemed to not care as much as they did about the care of the animals. The second was luckily her vet. I loved taking her there because God forbid there was an issue, she would have access to medical staff as soon as possible. Also see if there is an option for a video camera. It is really important to ensure that the caretakers have nothing to hide, plus it's fun watching your puppers on screen! When my dog was a puppy she would constantly walk next to staff when they cleaned the floor. :) Lastly, again I cannot stress this enough, do research on the facility. I don't want to scare you, but there was a local daycare here where a dog died. They had the small and large dogs separated, but apparently a larger dog entered the smaller pen and trampled the other dog. Again I am not saying that happens a lot or is even common but as a fur-parent I take all precautions. Good luck!
