Totally worth the experience
Totally worth the experience
The engineers are generally motivated and talented.
Incompetent people get fired (that sounds scary, but the opposite is true).
There are interesting problems to solve.
The pay is good to very good.
Engineers, generally speaking, get more respect at Amazon than at other companies for which I have worked.
Like everywhere I have worked, some groups are better than others. Also, the overall quality of managers seems poor compared to other companies. I think that is because they get burned out and quit.
If Jeff Bezos ever quits, I trust your abilities so little that I will be the next out the door. Start to add some value or leave!
