What's your experience working with United Way?
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?

Cons honestly for me is career growth/trajectory but it is what you make of it.
Full disclosure I’m just out of college so I’m pretty sure most people my level is doing the same.
In light of today’s announcement I’d consider looking elsewhere. Capco is now wipro.
Just saw the news? How do you think this would change Capco?
I work here now. What sector are you in? Leadership is hit or miss here. Projects are largely staff aug.
Rising Star
Good people but poor brand recognition
WLB is great depending on project. I typically finish at 5/5.30 and rarely ever work weekends. I do wake up a bit earlier to get a head start on the day but it's not expected.
Salary is decent too. It's more than the Big 4 where I'm at.
Overall it's a great place to work if you're interested in tech consulting for financial service clients.
WLB: Great, I usually close my laptop latest at 5.30pm every day. Rarely ever work weekends. I do wake up early to get a head start on the day but this isn't expected.
Comp: Also great, it's pretty high compared to the big 4. I'd say it's equal or maybe a bit less than the Tier 1/2 firms. (At least where I work).
What office? WLB can be good depending on the project (they do a lot of staff aug).
Not sure about the office, I think they’re hiring nationwide.
Projects depend which vertical you are in. Some interesting ones but most of them within new York are staff aug. rest of us projects are less staff augy.
Wlb is great other than some strategy projects. Pay can range From 80-105 depending on region and ask. 100 is generally common
WLB is hit or miss it seems. There are opps for staff aug esp with NY clients, but good opportunities for more interesting work. Harder to find and break into that work tho
For me I really love working with the people within Capco. Some super high energy and smart people, with a good sense of team work. We also have fun social events, even in this virtual world.
Con is that we currently feel understaffed. We are hiring quickly and this is due to expansion, but it can make it stressful trying to staff projects and there seems to be a lot of internal demands these days.
Pros: comp is ok, but there are other firms pay more. Get the experience and get out.
Cons:
1) culture. They have a churn above industry average. My friends that stayed all want to leave. A lot of very toxic PCs and MDs.
2) Sometimes feels like amateur hour, in part bc they are behind other firms in tool adoption. Other firms adopt alteryx and spotfire, whereas there are folks in Capco that hardly know excel.
Currently at the consultant level and I while I’m slightly underpaid as an internal promote, I’d say the money is pretty good considering WLB. The younger staff (associates and consultants) are a pretty good group overall, especially if you’re on a large project. Like others have said, there isn’t much name recognition compared to other firms, so most people I know who leave go on to work for a former client rather than a different firm.
If you can sync in with the leadership team, then you can be a quick promote up to Principal
