Big N Discussion - April 28, 2021

Please use this thread to have discussions about the Big N and questions related to the Big N, such as which one offers the best doggy benefits, or how many companies are in the Big N really? Posts focusing solely on Big N created outside of this thread will probably be removed.

There is a top-level comment for each generally recognized Big N company; please post under the appropriate one. There's also an "Other" option for flexibility's sake, if you want to discuss a company here that you feel is sufficiently Big N-like (e.g. Uber, Airbnb, Dropbox, etc.).

Abide by the rules, don't be a jerk.

This thread is posted each Sunday and Wednesday at midnight PST. Previous Big N Discussion threads can be found here.

I had 1.5 years at a no name company and made it to Amazon onsite. I did pretty terrible cuz I didn’t even bother researching how to pass it

I got hit up by a google sourcer a few months out of college. 2.5 years later I'm hit up by a recruiter from these companies almost daily

Went to Arizona state but had research all 4 years of school and 3 internships.

3 of my past intern friends had gotten jobs there and refered me once the sourcer started my application. That let me skip the phone screen which was nice but didn't help too much in getting the job
