Best Company I have ever worked for
Best Company I have ever worked for
I have 27 years of industry experience and have worked at other large companies like Microsoft, as well as at startups. I love my experience here at Amazon.
After 3 years here, there isn't a day when I'm not excited about going to work. As a Principal Engineer, I get to set directions and best practices for a wide group of engineers. All my peers and colleagues are very professional, and our Leadership Principles are great guiding tools for all of us to resolve conflict in a coherent and respectful way.
Travel policy is that we travel economy, even to Europe or India. So that sucks.

Phone screening with HR. Then, a five-person phone interview was conducted. A screen share included coding exercises. A lot of emphasis was placed on what AWS technologies to use rather than actual programming.
