JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.
Shots fired. Your move Deloitte.

+1 to everything PD1 said above. I live in Seattle, so about 50% of the folks I know either currently or previously have worked at Amazon.
I've talked with a few of their recruiters, and honestly, I wouldn't trust their recruiters at their word. They're all trying to make their own quotas of getting people in the door for an interview, which is true of recruiters anywhere, but I feel like Amazon recruiters are a bit more aggressive than others.
The typical tenure of an Amazon employee is ~1.5 years, so they've basically churned through so much of the professional tech workforce that it's harder for them to find good candidates. My personal feeling, which has been validated by people who actually work at Amazon, is that they stretch JDs a bit to try to get more people on the hook for interviews, leading to a lot of mismatched expectations.
I also know a few people who love working there though since they have great teams and managers, so you should still interview if you get through to the full loop! Just take what the recruiter says with a BIG grain of salt and make sure you ask the hiring manager more specific questions about what is actually expected of the work you'll be doing.
I missed this!! I’d love to get that Holy grail list of questions if the offer is still there!
I always say if it’s too good to be true, then it probably is.
Amazon won’t hesitate laying people off when needed. They’re also notorious for having very minimal work-life balance.
But I also don’t work at Amazon, so much of this is just here say.
I left a comment on the comment below mine with a suggestion you could take to help you make your decision down the road.
I do know an engineer who fairly enjoys working there, and likes the amount of responsibility given to him that he didn’t get at his previous company. He’s fortunate to have a good team.
