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?

A so called internal product at there engineers doesn't even have coding standards, convention. When introducing new feature into the system they don't even care if it is a good way to do it even it violates the very S letter of SOLID principles.

Sounds too familiar. It’s more about what the smallest change you can make without breaking the metaphorical lop sided jenga
I've seen worse but the most frustrating are new projects where people are dead set on being clever. One that comes to mind is where someone tried defining the layout, display, and API of certain features of an application in the database layer, shepherding it through the backend and into the frontend. It's "dynamic", and "data driven", while simultaneously erasing all previously possible compile time checks and type safety guarantees. Give it 5 years and it will have grown to be more complex and worse maintained than the system it was meant to simplify. You can see the train wreck coming but you can't prevent it.

No you truly can’t prevent it. People hate having a hard time following the KISS principle
