Not as much opportunity for SDETs
Not as much opportunity for SDETs
- Exciting projects that have high visibility and use.
- Customer-centric focus.
- Lots of good software engineer tools and frameworks in place.
Not a whole lot of opportunity for SDET or test careers. Sure, there are pockets of them, but I wouldn't count on Amazon as a long-term place for a test career. It is not uncommon to see senior test folks eventually leave due to a lack of promotion process for them.
There is heavy emphasis on on-call activities with less emphasis on building quality in from the beginning.
The engineering management is fairly young.
If you want to attract and keep test professionals, hire more test managers and some test VPs or Directors to help keep the culture alive.
