| IME many big companies are filled with mediocre morons, or at least people who just don't care enough to do better than mediocre. Still not the fault of brown people either way. |

| Can't help but laugh that even Amazon has someone who defends its honour. |

| ▲ | mikert89 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | hahaha i was laughing too, of all companies for someone to defend | | |
| ▲ | ryandrake an hour ago | parent [-] | | Every $1B+ company out there has at least one person on HN eager to passionately praise and defend it online. I've never understood it. People get devoted to a company like it's their religion. |

| >The reason you're not getting a job at Amazon isn't because of brown people, The correct framing is "The reason you're not getting a job at Amazon isn't because of people willing to work for less money," |

| ▲ | snovymgodym an hour ago | parent [-] | | Bands yes, packets no. Big tech companies aren't like a Government job with rigorous pay grades based on role and seniority. You can have people even within the same role and level at big tech with multiple $100k pay discrepancies. If someone's continued ability to stay in the country where they currently live is contingent on employment then they will accept worse conditions and pay. That's the entire reason why tech companies use H1B, it's not as though there's a dearth of Java developers or DevOps people who are US citizens. |

| amazon is crammed full of indians, its one of the worst offenders. i spent 5 years at the company also nothing impressive about a senior SDE there, maybe 10 years ago it was impressive, best talent has either moved on or is L7+ |
