Good company to work for (just good)

Software Development Engineer I
Current Employee
Has worked at Amazon for 1 year
January 31, 2022
São Paulo, São Paulo
4.0
Pros
  • Good compensation
  • Well-known company (people will ask you)
  • Plenty of time to prepare (3 months) before your first line of code
Cons
  • I don't feel motivated (< 3 months doing my Embark stuff)
  • You will work with many legacy systems.
  • Don't expect to see geniuses. Amazon is a company that hires many people, and the hiring bar isn't as high as they say.
  • In the contract, you will work more than 40 hours per week: 9 am to 6:48 pm + 1 hour for lunch, for a total of 44 hours per week.
  • After the pandemic, everyone will need to return to the office. That is part of Amazon culture.
