July 1, 2022
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Phone screening, preliminary interview, set of 5 interviews.
Interviewers were very professional. The overall experience for me was neutral because recruiters failed to communicate effectively.
I had to remind them three times, and I received feedback only after three weeks from the last interview.
Questions
Many behavioral questions about past situations, related to the job I tried to get.

Practical Delivery, Hostile Culture
Senior Software Development Manager • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
October 28, 2025
Pros: Very focused at times, and some cultural practices (e.g., clarity of thought expressed by writing).
Very practical and good at incremental delivery.
Cons: Jassy is uninspiring and dropped the ball on AI, so he is trying to make it up by slashing costs and being actively hostile to employees (e.g., RTO). He is also showing crappy, slop AI outputs in inappropriate domains.
Engineering excellence culture is mediocre overall.

It is different - continued cost cutting creates challenges
Senior Software Development Manager • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
November 5, 2024
Pros: It is still a company that is at the cutting edge of many technologies, and you will work with some of the best engineers and team members. Its leadership principles truly guide the daily decision-making and are part of the DNA of the company.
Cons: Mass layoffs and continued cost-cutting create resource crunches across teams and affect the morale of the teams. Amazon used to have thousands of open roles for all kinds of jobs, and now you can count on your fingers the number of open roles in some job families. Many people compete for the few opportunities to get a chance to work on something different.

Annual targets for "unregretted attrition" are ridiculous and counterproductive.
