I've been contacted several times by Amazon recruiters over the last few years. They see my resume with all Perl experience and ask me about my Java experience over the phone. I never hear back, hahaha. From every article I've read from insiders there, the code is an atrocious mess, but I suppose it would look great on your resume to have worked there.
Am I making a point? Not really.
