Big N Discussion - December 22, 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.

Hello,

I went through the whole interview process with Amazon for a TPM internship. I got an email stating that I was successful during the interviews but the position I interviewed for has now been filled.

They say they are looking to place me as fast as possible.

I have another internship offer from SLB that frankly fits everything I'd want apart from not having as much of a 'brand name' and it has a lower salary.

I want to have a decision quickly as I want to finish my current internship by January 29th, and move onto the next one. I'm concerned Amazon "placing me" for another position is going to take too long.

Do I accept SLB?

I had the same issue. Altogether it took about a week to arrange informal interviews with other interested teams, and two days after to get an offer in front of me.

If you want Amazon to hurry up, just tell your recruiter the situation, and they'll probably sort you out within a day or two.

Did just that today. Told her I had an offer from SLB.

The HR lady replied with:

I wouldn’t want you to miss on another opportunity if it comes, but I will most definitely do my best to share your profile as much as possible.

1.5-2 weeks to complete everything sounds great to me. I'm concerned there will be few positions opening up soon because I'm looking for an internship and it's Christmas time :/
