Initial pay is good (when you join). Your salary is greater than 50% of fellow Amazonians in the same role.
Brand value on your resume.
International options, if applicable to your role, are good.
The pay never increases (one-digit increment every year).
Promotion to the next role only gets you the minimum of the next role.
Any chances of increment are only via stocks.
Toxic culture. The overall environment is to gather data points, where in the end, skills growth, etc., do not matter if you somehow gather the metric.
Legacy code, operationally heavy, sacrifice any long-term improvement for the sake of short-term business goals. Poor long-term vision.
No role boundaries. More often than not, even if the role is software developer, you are a tester, product manager, TPM, and at times, you have to do the stuff that managers should be doing. This leaves you with no work-life balance in the end.
Do not stay for more than 2 years.
It is very difficult. The interviewer asked graph and tree depth questions in DSA. I was unable to answer those questions, and I tried to give answers, but it was not possible for me.
OA 2 DSA Questions and Leadership Principle Simulation. One question was about lexicographical string comparison, and the other was sort-based, rule-based, but tricky to attempt. It took 3-4 hours to complete.
1. Online Test (100 mins) * Aptitude (Quant + Logical Reasoning) * Verbal Ability * Pseudocode/Logic & Basic Programming * Numerical puzzles 2. Interview (Single combined round) * Technical: Basics of DBMS, SQL, OS, Networking, c
