High compensation, high stress
Great compensation and lots of opportunities to grow and learn. Amazon provides lots of technical challenges, and you get to work with a lot of smart, motivated, and talented people.
Amazon will always ask a lot of you. Between on-call rotations and the very high bar for quality and productivity, it can be very easy to get burnt out. Some orgs/teams can be worse than others.
Be sure to ask what the operational workloads are for the team(s) you’re interviewing with.
