Hello, it's me.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
Bless you PMs.

Meh. Not surprising to me. Tech firms like Google and Microsoft are so big and chaotic paired with all these complex IT systems that their recruiting process turns into its own creation not found most other places. Google and Facebook are known for similar situations where there are “team picking” stages for people who pass HR screenings.
Happens often.
Same here as A1.
In my case, following the interview, the hiring manager was asked to do an international relo, HM said no and elected to leave Amazon. Hiring manager left and as a result the req was closed.
Took 6 weeks to find a role. It was me looking for open roles and at the same time the recruiter was connecting with leaders to find roles.
No additional interviews, just a 30 minute chat with the org leader.
Ew
Appreciate the insight everyone - this helps and I’ll be sending the recruiter a couple of postings I found that match the role I interviewed for (there are several with the same title which leaves me even more perplexed). Just frustrating you can do everything right and still get a “rejection”. I’m aware of a team match phase at other tech firms but wasn’t told that for this role which is additionally frustrating. I’m assuming no one will confirm before EOY due to holidays and the lack of a timeline just sucks. I’ll continue interviewing elsewhere but the distinct possibility that I could accept another offer then this pop up a week after a new start date is less than ideal. /vent over
I just had a similar situation happen, waiting for a CIO to sign my offer letter and they kept saying I should get this week then the next week. After 3 weeks the CIO pushed back the start of the project 5-7 months. Say they still want me if I'm available at that time
Happened to me at Amazon got call back after 2 months it’s common
Unfortunately I have heard that happens often at Microsoft but I know it sucks because people need jobs. Hopefully they will reach out to you soon though and especially if you are top in the queue.
Had a Microsoft recruiter reach out regarding a specific role stating I was a good fit for it, so I applied.. then got a standard thank you mail.
