Incredibly great people to work with
Incredibly great people to work with
Great compensation package (127k base, 65k sign-on bonus over 2 years, 28 RSU over 4 years).
Surprisingly friendly people. I'm concerned that our project is too difficult, but everyone on my team seems so confident and reliable; they make my concerns go away.
Amazon will take all the time you're willing to give them. Being on-call seems like a norm and expected at Amazon. My department doesn't do Monday morning nor Friday afternoon meetings. So, all the nightmare stories you heard about WLB at Amazon are varying at the least.
I work 100% remote.
Amazon has so many services and systems. Even internally, learning how the other systems work is so much work. In general, the Amazon services are incredibly complex.
They do a good job at being hands off and not micromanaging. I would have liked more information more often to stay in the loop of what's going on in my team/org, though.
