Big name but can't stay up to it - worst place to work
Big name but can't stay up to it - worst place to work
Very smart people to work with.
Some of the teams have great work that you can learn a lot from.
My recent manager gave me much more work than I could do. He knew it was a lot, and when I confronted him that it was impossible to complete over 150 hours of work in a sprint, he said, "Figure it out. Those are just estimates." He meant I should be working day and night, and also over the weekend, to get the work done, which I did to save my job. However, this behavior continued. There was no appreciation for the work done. Many things written in my annual review were baseless and wrong.
There is no work culture at Amazon. It is way below average. No fun, just work and work! Few people are really nice to work with, but it's hard to find such people. I would definitely not recommend anyone to work at Amazon. Their pay scale is also too low.
Hire good people, not just talented people.

LOOP superday: two 1-hour long technicals, one 1-hour long behavioral; it was relatively straightforward. The first question they asked me was a binary tree + dictionary question. I think they were testing system design because they gave a very open
