The layoffs, which were first reported by Crain’s New York, were disclosed in a filing with the New York State Department of Labor. In total, 660 employees are being laid off by Amazon across nine offices in New York City.

Amazon has long been low on my list of potential employers.
I am not in Tech industry, and I applied a job posted in Amazon website, and interview with hiring manage went well. Email received for the next step: loop interview and availability, the recruiter just emailed me saying "this position is no longer available" before I could figure out my availability. lol
when I was in the process of interview, I actually debated myself quite a bit with concern with recent mass layoff and future stability of Amazon. To my surprise the confirmation of the worrying came so quick. I did not feel regret that this "opportunity" vanished. The people are intelligent, yet the culture is not what I am pursuing.
That's just the beginning!
