Great place to learn and grow, but expect long hours
Great place to learn and grow, but expect long hours
Amazon is the ideal place for workaholics. You will get great work with significant impact. All teams are small, and every employee has a high level of responsibility (compared to other companies of this size.)
You will also have great career growth opportunities if you can keep up the pace.
All in all, it's a good place for ambitious (usually young) people to start their careers.
You will always have aggressive targets and relatively little support. You will have to figure everything out on your own, even when it relates to components made by other teams in the company. When facing tough bugs, you'll find yourself spending late nights in the office, waiting for responses from people working in the US.
Make it easier to get help across teams.
