SDE I - Amazon Costa Rica
SDE I - Amazon Costa Rica
Great compensation. Good health insurance. Great culture: objective-based, flexible schedule. Lots of smart people to be around. Constantly looking to be more inclusive and diverse. Stock (RSU). You get to work on projects with global impact. You can relocate anywhere in the world with planning and commitment. You can move to other teams internally if you don't like yours or get bored.
Not very competitive benefits.
Older teams are stuck in the past (see advice for management).
Older teams in Costa Rica seem a bit old-school. Here's a culture of college elitism: they don't even consider people without college degrees.
