Hearing that the recruiter more or less committed to a 170K+ range, only to waste significant amounts of interviewee time before rendering a below market offer is really concerning.
Amazon is in direct competition for talent with Google, Facebook and Microsoft and from what information I can gather they all pay significantly more while also lacking the bad reputation Amazon has accrued over the years for being a complete meat-grinder. (whether or not the others are actually meat-grinders is still up for debate: but they don't have a public reputation for being such)
Why does talent in our industry continue to accept this kind of treatment? If name brand law firms tried to pull this shit with associate lawyers I suspect they would get sent invoices for the billable hours.
