Good place to work and learn
Good place to work and learn
- Loads of intelligent people to work and learn with.
- Lots of challenging problems to work on as a team.
- Lots of engagements on new CS topics with lunch and learns.
- Good work-life balance for most teams.
- Will gain great software engineering skills.
-
A "waterfall" company can drive a slow boat to nowhere attitude sometimes. You can get stuck working on very easy tasks for months.
-
The ability to work outside your role is limited. If you are new to software engineering, it would be beneficial to work at a startup first. You will gain more coding skills and coding projects that challenge your knowledge. At Amazon, you will work on the same thing 100 times until you automate it.
-
It is hard to get promoted at the upper levels. It's a "checkbox list" of requirements, and if the role you're in doesn't provide you those opportunities, you will never get promoted.
Listen to your engineers more.
