Depends on Team/Service
Depends on Team/Service
A lot of the experience will be based on the team culture where you are based. I had a great time in Boston and learned a lot, but hit the same learning wall you would at any company early on in your career. There were opportunities to stay in the company and move to a different org, but I decided to leave for personal reasons.
Depending on your team and its service, you may be stuck in a sort of dead-end product and not learn much or work on new/exciting things. This might be beneficial for some, though.

It was a very hard interview, and the interviewer was very bad. I discussed the approach and asked for his input. He diverted me to a wrong approach, and it wasn't possible to arrive at the correct solution from that path. This was for Amazon Robotic
