I recently interviewed and accepted a position at Amazon.
Prior to the interview the recruiters did a great job of preparing me for what to expect.
My direct manager was also part of the interview team, so I got to meet them.
Overall it was a very pleasant experience, which is part of the reason I decided to join.
This was my question as well.
How do you not notice 100's of qps from the same IP, and then go on to say, he was betting $8k/second.
server logs, and basic networking chomps seems like it would have found this much quicker.
In the Orthodox Jewish world, many women wear sheitels, essentially wigs sourced from human hair.
The entire buying experience is very different from what Ben describes in his blog. The women who sell the sheitels provide the whole experience, from picking out the hair type/color/length, etc, to making sure it fits well and that the customer is satisfied. Granted this is a much smaller and niche market, and the products (sheitels) themselves can easily sell for $1,000-$2,000+.
(source, my wife regularly wears a Sheitel in accordance with Halacha).
