amazon vs samsara

[valid ocean]

Amazon, High RO rate, name value prob better than others

[night fox]

sheesh i was highkey worried tho that zon since theyre hiring so many people that ro rates will be lower this year?

[valid ocean]

they hired a bunch of people every year

it's nothing different

[night fox]

hmm interesting so they didnt overhire this year? ig its a bit diff because i didnt really apply last year and see how many people they were hiring

[valid ocean]

Yeah they do this every year hiring thousands

[night fox]

oh 💀 do the ro change per team or its genuinly just a roulette

[valid ocean]

Depends on your team or org. If your team has headcount for you, then you are going back to that team. If not, they look for a spot in the same org. If not, they look for a spot in other orgs

[night fox]

so either way if u do good enough for a ro in ur team, theyll get u a spot somewhere

[valid ocean]

I don't wanna say "They will" but RO rate tends to be pretty high

[night fox]

kk makes sense

[night fox]

interesting wait did u already intern at zon

how was the 5 days in office life for u

[real zephyr]

wait so im confused do people get laid off later or does amazon just hire that many people every year?

like 5k every year in just swe is insane right

[valid ocean]

yeah I interned last year. They started 5 days RTO January 2025, so last year interns were not affected

[valid ocean]

they just hire a shit ton since Amazon is growing every year

[night fox]

ohh so u just had to do like 3 days hybrid right so it was much more chill

do u know how like intern life goes tho

[valid ocean]

Yeah 3 days RTO

[night fox]

do u have to stay in office like legit 9-5? or is it more lax

[valid ocean]

honestly no clue anymore. It wasn't that strict for us since they didn't check when we badged in and out

but maybe they changed

[night fox]

hmm ic ic

but ur fs taking the return right

for ng?

not applying to others for ng?

[valid ocean]

No I'm interning somewhere else this summer

[night fox]

oh shit

[night fox]

wait where are u interning and why over zon

LOL

[valid ocean]

Meta

[night fox]

ok reasonable

[valid ocean]

But getting inclined for RO is not that hard

[night fox]

wait so then zon tho would be pretty chill at least for interns?

u got ro right tho

[valid ocean]

People talk shit about Amazon, but the overall culture I experienced was just normal. Very chill

I'm sure some teams are bad just like every other company, but most teams are chill

[frosty knoll]

i think zon resume val gaps

[north bison]

if you look at your offer letter, if the top says AWS then youre incoming for AWS

if not its regular zon
