Ex-Amazons are valued in Silicon Valley explicitly for the hard edge that being socialized there is supposed to have imparted.


I'm not in the valley, but honestly I discard all resumes from former Amazon employees. If the tenure is shorter than 1 year I may take a look, just in case.

As a manager there is no way I'm contaminating my team with Amazon's culture. And yeah yeah "not all former Amazon blabla". Sure, I dont have time to play the odds. We all know about Amazon's toxic culture.
