Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?
I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.
Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon

I know this is a little late. I did one for BCD Travel. They gave me two days and I busted my ass on a 5 page case study only to be called a week later to be told, “we are going to move forward with other candidates. From that day, I said NEVER AGAIN. This is a way companies get free consulting. So I have taken my BCD Travel submission and perfected it. And now when the suggestion of case studies come up, I’m straight up, “If your hiring process includes a case study study as submission, I can only comply by providing previous published pieces or a case study of my choice. Case studies require time and research and I’m not in position to give free consultation service, if is contingent on a position where you are interviewing 5 candidates.” I don’t know if that helps. I say, if it’s between you and 1 other candidate maybe, more 4, push back. Until they come up with a way to encrypt a submission so that it cannot be copied or photographed, I’ll never do another case study without pay!
