Great place to start your career, but too much politics
Great place to start your career, but too much politics
Some of the older engineers can be great resources to get your principals down for engineering. Be careful, though, because Amazon still does let in a lot of bad engineers. Pick and choose who your mentor is.
Work was super chill, and I rarely worked overtime. Maybe I would work 40 hours a week, and a 60-70 hour week once a quarter.
After leaving Amazon, I realized how great the benefits are. Take advantage of them.
I worked in a politics-heavy org. It seemed promotions were rare, especially to SDE3.
Little to no scope to innovate as an engineer. Too many bad engineers have been here too long and haven't been "pipped" mostly because they know the domain.
