What Amazon hires for is insecure people desperate...
They prey on that subset, but they hire for disposable warm bodies in general.
I worked for them for not quite a year, and quit, because it was so absurd how incompetent the many layers of management above were, who took home massive pay for emailing and deriding talented engineers they knew little about.
Disclaimer : I'd already saved more than enough to retire young, so didn't need to work there, just thought it interesting, am pretty sure was assigned to backfill a hire-to-fire departed warm body, and was quickly keenly aware of the scam almost ponzi scheme they run, having spent several years at Apple which was run excellently (where I was).

Did you do their hiring gauntlet just for practice?
no, trusted the jobs to which i could be assigned would be interesting development, but was wrong
