On-call is not sustainable
Software Development Engineer • Former Employee
Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
January 13, 2021
Pros: Lots of learning possibilities, and very easy to move internally in the company (sometimes even encouraged after 1-2 years), so plenty of possibilities to touch various technologies.
Cons: On-call is the downside at Amazon, especially at AWS. Certain sub-teams are overloaded by the on-call. Working 24/7 is not fun, and this becomes unsustainable when the team is overloaded with tickets and the on-call takes time from normal work hours as well (in addition to your "normal" on-call rotation).
