Amazon.com, Inc. has unveiled a comprehensive guide to help job seekers navigate its rigorous hiring process—an approach rooted in founder Jeff Bezos&#8217; long-standing belief that hiring the right people is critical to a company&#8217;s success.
What Happened: Since Amazon's early days, Bezos has spoken about the importance of hiring top-tier talent.
In a 1998 interview, he revealed that he spent "about a third of the interview asking questions designed to ascertain whether or not [a candidate] can hire great people."
He believed that scaling Amazon successfully hinged not just on external challenges but on the company's internal ability to execute with top talent.

Now, Amazon is continuing that legacy by pulling back the curtain on its hiring process. In a blog post last week, the company outlined six key things every candidate should know when interviewing for a job at Amazon in 2025.
The Interview Process Is Structured And Multi-Step
Amazon's hiring process typically involves an initial phone screen, followed by role-specific assessments, and then an in-depth interview loop with multiple employees. The entire process can take anywhere from three to six weeks, with additional time required for senior roles.
You'll Have Several Key Contacts Throughout
Candidates will interact with a recruiter, a dedicated scheduler, and multiple interviewers, including a "bar raiser." This specially trained interviewer ensures Amazon maintains consistently high hiring standards and helps eliminate bias in decision-making.

Amazon's Leadership Principles Are The Foundation
Amazon evaluates candidates based on its Leadership Principles, which guide company culture. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate how they embody these principles, with "Customer Obsession" being central to every role.
Clear Timelines Help Keep Candidates Informed
Amazon aims to provide a decision within two business days of a phone screen and within five business days after final interviews. Offers typically involve a brief negotiation phase lasting a few days to a week.
Extensive Resources Are Available
Candidates can access role-specific interview guides, insights on company culture via Amazon's YouTube channel, and structured preparation methods like the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result).
‘Candid Chats' Offer A Glimpse Into Amazon's Culture
Before making a decision, candidates can participate in informal Candid Chats with current Amazon employees, allowing them to ask real questions about company culture, work-life balance, and career growth.
Amazon currently holds a market cap of $2.254 trillion, ranking as the world&#8217;s fourth most valuable company. Year-to-date, its stock is down 3.41%, but over the past 12 months, it has risen by 21.74%.

Jeff Bezos Knew Great Hiring Was Crucial Because He Used To Ascertain One Key Thing In Interviews — Now, Amazon Has Dropped 6 Must-Know Secrets To Landing A Job At The Tech Giant In 2025

Wilfredo Pagan, a 77-year-old Long Island resident, has spent years battling an unexpected adversary: the Social Security Administration. Despite being very much alive, Pagan has been repeatedly denied <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43592816/social-security-beneficiaries-have-every-reason-to-be-alarmed-by-musks-access-to-u-s-department-of-treasury-payment-system">Social Security benefits</a> because, according to government records, he has been dead for years. The bureaucratic mix-up has left him struggling to pay mounting medical bills while fighting to reclaim the benefits he has earned.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Bureaucratic Nightmare</h2>
Pagan, who owns a small shop in Far Rockaway selling spiritual candles and religious statues, has been trying to prove his existence to the SSA for years. His goddaughter, Deana Bain, has been by his side, showing officials multiple records dating back to 2016 that incorrectly list him as deceased. Yet, every attempt to correct the error has been met with delays and dead ends.
&#8220;We'll do an investigation and call you,&#8221; officials have repeatedly told Bain. But, as <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/investigations/social-security-denies-benefits-long-island/6146362/">she told WNBC-TV news</a>, &#8220;Nothing.&#8221;

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Pagan&#8217;s frustration deepened when he visited his local Social Security office in Freeport, bringing his original <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43759346/massive-data-breach-exposes-americans-financial-details-names-card-numbers-pins-and-more-at-risk">Social Security card</a> to support his claim. Instead of resolving the issue, a worker confiscated his card, telling him it was fake. Pagan, who has worked his entire life and contributed to Social Security, was left humiliated and accused of fraud.
&#8220;Like I was a thief,&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;That is what hurt me.&#8221;
Despite presenting additional documents, including his birth certificate, Pagan says officials refused to listen.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Consequences of a Clerical Error</h2>
The effects of being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40043132/social-security-administration-accidentally-kills-memphis-woman-blocking-her-from-access-to-mone">mistakenly declared dead by Social Security</a> extend beyond denied benefits. According to the Social Security Advisory Board, between 7,000 and 12,000 people are incorrectly recorded as deceased each year. The consequences can be severe, affecting identity authentication, employment opportunities, tax refunds, and even access to credit.
For Pagan, the error has had a devastating impact on his declining health. Without Social Security benefits, he has struggled to cover his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43662970/mark-cuban-says-u-s-healthcare-is-horrific-calls-for-free-medical-school-to-fix-doctor-shortages-and-soaring-costs">medical expenses</a>, and Bain worries that hospitals may refuse to treat him due to unpaid bills.
Adding to the confusion, Bain says that at one point, SSA officials suggested that someone else was receiving Pagan's benefits using his Social Security number. They claimed a person in the Dominican Republic had died while using his identity, but provided no further details.
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Glimmer of Hope?</h2>
Despite the repeated setbacks, Pagan had no trouble obtaining a U.S. passport last year, which listed his Social Security number. Yet, the death notices from the SSA continued to arrive.
After WNBC reported on Pagan's case, the SSA finally took action. Within hours of the news station reaching out to the local Social Security office, a representative contacted his family. While the agency declined to comment on Pagan's case specifically, he was granted an appointment at the Freeport Social Security office on Feb. 12.
The outcome of this meeting hasn't yet been reported on, but Pagan could be owed thousands of dollars in back benefits. For a man who has spent years trying to prove he is alive, this progression may finally bring the resolution he desperately needs.

On Monday, Elon Musk expressed his frustration over the perceived incompetence of federal workers and misuse of taxpayer money in a post on X. 
What Happened: Musk, who is associated with the Department of Government Efficiency, criticized the inability of some employees to pass a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43902918/elon-musk-demands-federal-workers-justify-their-jobs-fbis-kash-patel-tells-employees-not-to-respond">simple email test</a>, which he deemed as a display of contempt for how taxes are being spent.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send! Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers. Have you ever witnessed such INCOMPETENCE and CONTEMPT for how YOUR TAXES are… <a href="https://t.co/QjSmY4ezpg">https://t.co/QjSmY4ezpg</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
This post comes in the wake of Musk&#8217;s demand that federal employees justify their positions to him via email or risk losing their jobs. This directive, according to Musk, aligns with President Donald Trump&#8217;s instructions to eradicate federal waste and fraud. However, this move has been met with resistance, with FBI&#8217;s Kash Patel advising employees not to respond to Musk&#8217;s request.
Musk said that subject to the discretion of Trump, Federal employees would be &#8220;given another chance.&#8221; Responding to the right-wing political commentator Matt Walsh, he said, &#8220;Failure to respond a second time will result in termination.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s role as a senior advisor to Trump has been under legal scrutiny, with allegations of him exercising &#8220;virtually unchecked power&#8221;. The Trump administration clarified that Musk is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43902918/elon-musk-demands-federal-workers-justify-their-jobs-fbis-kash-patel-tells-employees-not-to-respond">not a part of the DOGE</a> team but serves as a senior advisor to the President. This clarification comes as the Trump administration faces a lawsuit alleging Musk's influence is excessive for a non-elected, non-Senate-confirmed individual.
A lawsuit filed by several Democratic states seeks to restrict Musk and the DOGE team from accessing government systems, arguing that Musk's influence contravenes the Constitution. The Trump administration, however, maintains that Musk is not a DOGE employee and does not have the authority to make government decisions himself.
Musk&#8217;s recent post and his demands on federal workers are likely to fuel this ongoing controversy. His demand that federal employees submit work summaries or be considered resigned faced swift pushback from agency heads and lawmakers, leading the Trump administration to clarify that responses were voluntary. While Trump defended Musk's move as an efficiency measure, even some Republican senators criticized it as overreach, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5161948-trump-musk-opm-email-backlash/">reported</a> The Hill.

Elon Musk Says DOGE Email Request To Federal Workers Utterly Trivial: 'Failure To Respond A Second Time Will Result In Termination'

Dave Ramsey is doubling down on his stance against remote work, joining the ranks of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43306967/elon-musk-slams-work-from-home-as-messed-up-and-morally-wrong-meanwhile-remote-workers-quietly-sneak-in-three-day-weekends-every-week">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43757032/jamie-dimon-goes-off-on-return-to-office-critics-you-dont-have-to-work-at-jpmorgan">Jamie Dimon</a>, explicitly saying that in-person collaboration is the key to success.&nbsp;
On a recent episode of the &#8220;EntreLeadership&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuu7_xBcFDI">podcast</a>, Ramsey talked with a business owner who was worried about employees skipping lunch to leave work early. This led to a bigger conversation about workplace rules, leadership, and his strong opinion on remote work.

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Case Against Remote Work</h2>
Ramsey, the well-known personal finance guru and business leader, was direct when talking about the efficiency of remote work. &#8220;We know things move at the speed of trust, and it&#8217;s very difficult to trust someone sitting in their pajamas on a Zoom call,&#8221; he said.
He explained that at Ramsey Solutions, employees are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39945751/bosses-admit-using-return-to-office-mandate-to-get-workers-to-quit-survey">expected to work from the office</a> because it improves communication, creativity, and productivity. While he acknowledged that working from home isn&#8217;t &#8220;morally wrong,&#8221; he argued that it simply isn&#8217;t as effective as in-person collaboration.
Trending: ‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a>
His comments reflect a broader debate among business owners about the pros and cons of remote work. Some companies have embraced flexibility, while others, like Ramsey Solutions, insist that employees are more productive and engaged when they work in a shared space.
Ramsey also admitted that his stance has led some employees to quit. &#8220;I&#8217;ve had some people that said they wanted to work from home, and so they quit and went to work for somebody who wanted to work from home,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Which I guess makes me the crotchety old boss in this scenario, right?&#8221;
Despite acknowledging that his views aren&#8217;t popular with everyone, he stood by his belief that workplace structure is a key part of running a successful business. &#8220;It is my name on the side of the building, and it is my signature on the bottom of your freaking paycheck,&#8221; he stated.
See Also: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
Ramsey's remarks highlight the challenges many business owners face when balancing employee preferences with business needs. His message is that company culture and expectations should be firmly established, and employees who disagree have the option to seek work elsewhere.
His advice to the business owner on the podcast was to address the issue directly and set precise expectations for employees, telling them that he let this situation go unchecked for a while, which created a gap in their customer service. He should also tell them he has regrets about not addressing it sooner because now it might seem like he&#8217;s reversing his stance, but that's not the case.

A new book from Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) CEO and co-founder Alex Karp has a unique take on the company's role and how Silicon Valley lost its way. The timing of the book launch comes as Palantir stock has soared in the past year.
What Happened: Karp and Palantir's Head of Corporate Affairs Nicholas Zamiska co-authored the new book, "The Technological Republic: Hard Power, Soft Belief, and the Future of the West," which serves as a manifesto of sorts about the data analytics company.
In the book, Karp and Zamiska say, "Silicon Valley has lost its way," as <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/23/palantir-ceos-new-book-says-silicon-valley-has-lost-its-way/?guccounter=1">reported </a>by TechCrunch.
The book <a href="https://techrepublicbook.com/?gad_source=1&amp;gbraid=0AAAAA-5oD3wY2yT2cnjhljB0Fm1UdHSfg&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAq-u9BhCjARIsANLj-s3GDb2MOQ6TeLvEK0DnyL_wX06AkWQqEwpIreM1pRZsx7JtHMSobXYaAoTEEALw_wcB">dives </a>into the close relationship between technology companies in Silicon Valley and the U.S. government and how that helped with the growth of the area.
The duo said the government is now developing new technology with companies in the private sector and Silicon Valley is "focusing its energy on narrow consumer products."
Today's Silicon Valley looks different with dominance of the region belonging to online advertising and shopping, video-sharing platforms and social media, the duo writes.
"A generation of talent has been led astray. And a moment of reckoning has arrived for the West."
The book's description says items such as "timid leadership" and "intellectual fragility" have made the U.S. vulnerable to global threats.

Why It's Important: The book seeks to make a difference in the shift and regain the rise of Silicon Valley.
"The software industry should rebuild its relationship with government and redirect its effort and attention to constructing the technology and artificial intelligence capabilities that will address the most pressing challenges that we collectively face."
The authors say the government must also embrace the Silicon Valley mindset once again for both items to be successful.
The book's release timing comes after Donald Trump was sworn in as president in January.
Some reviewers of the book question the timing of the book and whether it came before Trump won the 2024 election.
Karp previously<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/broad-u-s-equity-etfs/24/09/40795608/palantirs-s-p-500-journey-rebel-tech-giant-transforms-into-frankenstein-monster-powere"> addressed Palantir's unique path </a>of becoming a component of the S&amp;P 500. Karp&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o_lK7-133Q" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">emphasized&nbsp;</a>how Palantir&#8217;s unique approach, centered on building exceptional products, has been key to its success.
&#8220;We built the best products in the world. We started off in one area of the West Clandestine Services. We migrated into the military, into Spec Ops in the U.S. commercial and into us into commercial globally,&#8221; Karp explained.
Karp said some analysts thought Palantir was a "Frankenstein monster powered by a freak show leader" before becoming a profitable company.
PLTR Price Action: Palantir stock closed Monday down 10.53% at $90.68. Palantir stock is up over 280% in the last year.
