SO what was it?There is an extra plugin that is needed, but I've not seen mentioned yet. The Android Emoji pack. Without it, links and emoji don't work. Add it in, and boom, they work.

When Amazon was interviewing me, the police had to be called on their drunked staff out at the bar. So I'm not entirely surprised.

6 interviews? Seems like a waste of time and resources for all parties.

Ya that didn’t include the 2 recruiter calls prior to all of that. 2 phone interviews and they flew me to Chicago and I had 4 interviews back to back.

Sounds normal for Amazon, I have a friend that had 4 interviews and then had 4 with Google. He ended up at Google

Oh man, I wouldn't even interview at Google. Amazon wasn't that bad. Lots of interviews, but they did one round on the phone then flew me to Seattle and did a full day of them as it should be. I thought that they handled it well.

They are required to say that. They sign an agreement before they interview that they will not disclose the conditions there. So you can never trust any good news that comes out of Google.

If that's true, why don't all companies do that?

Not sure about that but will believe it until proven otherwise.

If that's true, why don't all companies do that?
Because once you do that, you can't hire the best - the best won't even apply. But for Google, they have a HUGE value in the myth that it is a great place to work and that they do magic things. It's a massive part of their marketing. Very few companies can leverage marking of that nature and gain far more by being able to hire more broadly.
Having worked in the Valley, I don't know anyone that will even interview with Google let alone consider them. Google's focus is hiring college students who don't have experience and know what other businesses are like. But in the area, MS, FB, Amazon, etc. all have better hiring reputations and can attract more senior talent.

Google has to hire more people, deal with more junior people, have more overhead to everything that they do because they make their hiring processes so bad. It might sound great, why let people complain about working for you, but some people always sneak out and hope that they just won't get caught and talk about it and you pay the price in other areas. I think it only works out for Google because they are unique in doing it. If several other large companies of their size followed suite, you'd find that it would have a nullifying effect and they'd all give up on it.
Transparency is one of the biggest values that people tend to look for in companies. So Google always has to a massive strike against it, big enough that since you can never ask someone an honest opinion about working there that lots of people don't consider it - since word of mouth hiring is one of the biggest ways that hiring happens. Lacking that really hurts Google.

It can't be proven, that's their gamble. You can see why it is effective - their marketing message is the only thing that is allowed out. So people tend to repeat that "everyone says it is great there", as it is all they are allowed to hear. But once you know that it's always filtered, you can't believe any of it. And the rumours are that it's awful.

It is a rumor I heard years ago.
