Stepping Stone FAANG Company

Software Development Engineer II
Former Employee

Pros

You learn a lot of skills and work on impactful projects. Due to the high stress and fast-paced environment, engineers do not stay long and hop to another FAANG company. Having Amazon on your resume will open more opportunities. However, I do see engineers stay for years. These engineers are usually on HB1 visas or are not motivated to interview prep.

Cons

Work and life is not balanced.

You set your own deadlines; however, there is some pressure to move fast. You do not want to slow down other teams during the implementation phase.

There are late or early meetings to discuss with teams in China or India.
