A great place to work with a strong customer focus
Software Development Engineer II • Former Employee
August 19, 2010
Pros: Amazon.com is a great company to work for. Features are always designed with the customer in mind. Customer trust and loyalty are high.
Very short release cycles (less than one month) mean that your work has an immediate impact. Many managers were SDEs at some point, so they have reasonable expectations.
It is easy to switch to different teams working on completely different technologies (you must remain with a team for at least a year, but are free to move afterwards). There are opportunities to move from SDE to management.
Cons: Pager rotation - Building a large-scale web service with tons of customers means that any bugs encountered need to be fixed immediately by the responsible team. Quick release cycles exacerbate this. Rotations are typically split evenly across the SDEs of a team.
