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?
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

I feel like double layoffs in 2021. However, I’ve seen a lot of people leave my firm during the pandemic which is weird.
Expect layoffs in 2021
HL, Blair, RBC, Nomura, Baird already cut 10-20%
Probably depends on the area. On trading side, if / when we see revenues start to normalize or shrink, expect larger layoffs next year. On the operations side, they’ve paused productivity layoffs, but are merely adding on top of the target goals for next year.
