Good cash compensation. Terrible culture
Good cash compensation. Terrible culture
Got paid well and became a better engineer as I learned more about how distributed systems/microservices architecture works.
Worked for Alexa during its downfall. Terrible management that only looks out for themselves and is quick to place people in Focus/PIP. Teammates are not usually helpful. The Alexa product and Gen AI migration have a terrible outlook. Five-day RTO on all of this is the cherry on a steaming pile of doo doo.
Strongly reconsider the mandated 5-day RTO and mandated Focus quota.

I haven't passed the hiring process, but I spent time talking to them and think they are a good team. They also required me to be on-site. Mostly, they are interested in your experiences.
