Worst environment to work in
Worst environment to work in
You'll work with the smartest and fiercest engineers. At Amazon, you are not working with the other engineers; you are working against them. You get a masterclass in politics. It also has a very high learning curve. My team used to work 13 hours a day on average.
You will lose your hair (literally) and may develop back problems (this happened with an SDE 1 in my team).
The artificial deadlines will literally kill you.
The leadership in my team was bumbling around, pinning blame on engineers, which led to the firing of 4 engineers over time. Five others left on their own.
No advice.
