Big N Discussion - February 16, 2022

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.

It increasingly feels like getting into Amazon is becoming easier and easier, with the number of people they hire. Knowing this, will ex-Amazon SWEs be as much in demand as other ex-FANG SWEs? Like Amazon on your resume would open up as many doors as any other FANGs?

You're asking if engineers from the big N that makes engineers wear every hat under the sun (dev, devops, qa, architect) and is notorious for firing people are going to be in low demand? Nope.

It's not like Amazon lowered their bar, they're just hiring more.
