Is this layoff?Amdocs

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
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?

The last recession likely isn't a good proxy due to the extreme severity. Its probably better to compare what happened in 2000 and 2001.
First to go are all temporary staff and consultants. These are easy and dont carry negative impact to the workforce. If that wasnt enough, then strategic decisions could be made on pulling out of failing business products, units, or markets (which will be even more negatively impacted during a downturn).
All other things being equal, overall reductions in workforce become based on merit, skill, and compensation. It's probably a blend of the three.
All you can do is work hard and prepare an exit strategy in case of the unexpected.
