Big company interview processes are great and by great I mean just terrible and dehumanizing experiences. I applied to Amazon at some point and then completely forgot about it. I hear back from them like 6 months later and in that time I had interviewed at more than a dozen companies in the bay area with much more pleasant interview processes.

The cycle times make no sense to me when it comes to big companies. I don't know how Amazon hires and retains programmers.
