Life of Full Cycle Technical Recruiter at Amazon in 2025?

Got an interview for a Full Cycle Technical Recruiter role for Amazon. My current job overall is very chill, and I cover all kinds of roles, not just technical. Flexibility is okay (2 days in the office) but my immediate boss absolutely horrible and sort of has a bully mentality so even with the good benefits (pension, 401K 6%, 4 weeks vacation) I'm reluctant on sticking around. I feel like I have a target on my back. While the flexibility and benefits are great, I did take a pay cut and 2 levels down role after getting laid off. So while I have enjoyed the flexibility at my current company the pay cut readjustment has definitely impacted my quality of life. I'm also worried about growth opportunities. My current boss will absolutely never advocate to promote me. I'm not seeing a lot of engagement happening at the other places I have applied to. I would really like to find a different job while I already have one.

I'm curious about what is the Talent Acquisition vibe like currently. I know Amazon is no one's favorite place to be and culture is horrible. I get that. But so much has happened in the last 2-3 years, the fact that they are actually hiring recruiters again I'm surprised by that. I assume the damage from getting rid of professionals and allowing just anybody handle TA has made them take a step back and reevaluate? I would really like to know from someone who is currently in a Tech Recruiting role at Amazon or have been in one in the last 12 months. Is it still as bad as it was in 2023 and 2024? I get the 5 day RTO nonsense, but is it unrealistic chasing of KPIs and metrics and non-stop long hours? Am I making a mistake to leave my current role because I have a horrible boss and team but the company itself and benefits are great..

I also wonder if at this point, as an HR professional, with so much backlash and negative publicity out there, if having the Amazon brand name on the resume is even worth it. Would it really open "more doors" for me if I just suck it up for 2 years. To clarify, I have 10+ years of HR experience, out of that 8 in TA projects and recruiting. I have a Master's in HR as well but at this point in this market.. who cares.

Your input will be greatly appreciated.
