I was contacted by an Amazon recruiter and did a brief interview. Rather than a screening call like most companies I've interacted with, the recruiter wanted me to immediately fill out their application and start on the technical assessment, as if it didn't even cross her mind that I might not be interested in working for them. I filled out the app as it seemed required for the initial call, and then when I explicitly asked, I learned that supposedly most people work 40h weeks. I don't blame her for doing her job and trying to get applications, but the complete lack of sincerity was astonishing. I had already decided I'd never work for a FAANG based on other experiences I've learned about online and through friends, but it was especially impactful to experience the culture personally.
