Work Life of an SDE at Amazon
- You get to work on a new problem each day (could be of a different tech stack, DevOps related, or a security issue).
- Decent compensation (above market standards).
- Very little visibility of an individual's contribution.
- Deadlines are strict with very little flexibility.
- Legacy corporate culture with less interaction between teammates, as everyone in a team works on a separate project.
- Barely any KT sessions, and PR reviews are not effective.
Could work on increasing collaboration.
