A lot of things to learn. A lot of hardworking and smart people
A lot of things to learn. A lot of hardworking and smart people
I noticed that people at Amazon have either stayed for a really long time or just in there for 1-2 years of their career.
From more senior colleagues, you can definitely learn a lot if you are doing an internship or are fresh out of college.
Amazon has its own system for almost everything you need to build software, but you really need to think big because everything needs to be scalable (especially if you are on Retail or AWS).
Perks are limited (as you all know); money doesn't buy you happiness.
It might take a while to get used to people moving around, switching teams all the time.

The interview process included an online coding assessment with two LeetCode questions, then a one-hour technical interview with one LeetCode question as well as some background questions. After that, I heard back from them in a few weeks.

Interview (one round): They asked some data structures and algorithms questions, and also some basic CS knowledge. I found it not easy at all. The market is really not doing well right now.

Coding OA -> One-way workplace OA -> Technical interview -> Offer. The technical interview was just a tagged LeetCode question (medium difficulty). The overall process took quite long. I got the OA late December, and the interview was in February.
