Process

Questions
One of the engineers asked what data structure I would use to search and allocate memory of a given size.

Customer Focus, Brutal Culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
October 11, 2013
Pros: The company is very customer-centric and tries to do the right thing for the customer.
If you find the right manager and mentor, you can build a good, rewarding career here. The key is the right manager and mentor.
Amazon is not a bad stepping stone to other companies where you can grow technically.
Cons: The work culture is brutal here. Sub-standard hardware, open rooms with lots of noise and chaos make it hard to get any work done. Everyday seems like a fire drill. To add to that, middle management has no clue and is running around like chickens without heads. Managers have no vested interest in nurturing and developing their employees. You basically have to fend for yourself.
