The biggest pro is that there are so many things you can learn. You will never regret it. (Do an internship here if you have an opportunity).
Before I joined Amazon, I did not know the company had one of the best technologies to manage overall systems & environments.
Very flexible work hours. I get to the office by 10 am or 11 am.
Good compensation and stock options, which are rallying every month.
Good benefits: some employee discounts, free public rides in Seattle.
Having Amazon on your resume is definitely a pro.
Few years ago, the environment for SDEs was premature, but I think it is very stable nowadays, and you can take great benefits and speed up the development process.
Hard work (but will give you a lot of opportunity to learn) Some level of frugality
Round 1: OA. Cleared in November 2024. No word until February 2025 when I was told I was scheduled for interviews. A week later, they wrote back stating that email was sent "by mistake" and should not be considered. Another recruiter reached out in
There was an OA, a phone round with the recruiter, and then a loop with the panel. This included medium and hard LeetCode problems, followed by system design.
The first round was a two-question online assessment. The second round was a virtual onsite with four rounds. Each round, the interviewer spent about 30 minutes covering leadership principle questions and left about 30 minutes for technical coding
