Very good place to work, if you are willing to commit yourself
Very good place to work, if you are willing to commit yourself
High quality and dedication of employees.
Interesting and challenging technical problems: scale and (application) complexity.
Cooperative working environment; not excessively political.
Amazon still has a lot of new things left to do.
Frugality is taken seriously: the work's the thing. Totally.
Seattle is a great place to live.
Difficulty being able to leap-frog the state of the art.
On-call can be very draining.
Compensation is only average (but at least it seems to be average).
Benefits aren't stellar.
"It's still day one" gets tiresome.
Frugality is taken pretty seriously: no frills (i.e. no free anything).
Hard to publish or get permission to talk about work outside the company.
Be more strategic, less focused on the near-term problems.

There were 2 rounds: * An online portion. * A virtual coding session. The initial online portion included technical questions along with scenario-based ones. The virtual technical question was difficult, and I was asked one question.
