Process
Had a 1-hour interview for round 1 and a 1.5-hour interview for round 2. The interviewer was friendly and guided us in the process when writing the code. It was an amazing experience.

Management from North America can be very toxic
Data Engineer • Current Employee
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
November 7, 2024
Pros: In my experience, working for an EU-based team leads to much better visibility, project opportunities, and work culture.
I'm transferring to an Amazon EU-based organization now and am super happy to go back to a more positive and healthy work environment.
Cons: Watch out for promises of working in a "world wide team"!
As soon as my organization switched to "world wide," it became managed by North American leadership, which was extremely toxic.
* They don't respect EU working hours, and you will work super late.
* They don't respect EU projects and will always go with the North American tool or solution, even rebuilding from scratch rather than considering an EU solution.
* They were insanely frugal, even refusing to pay for us to get AWS certified.
Just watch out because in interviews, they sell the worldwide orgs as having a greater impact and better visibility, but I have experienced quite the opposite.
