Poor WLB with toxic manager
Poor WLB with toxic manager
Learning opportunity since SDE is given various responsibilities of ops and testing along with design and development.
Other companies will seem a lot better once you have endured Amazon.
Compensation for SDE2+ is good.
- Aggressive deadline throwing out work-life balance.
- High on-call load due to not having dedicated DevOps for each team.
- Some managers are toxic and treat you as a slave.
- Many tasks are ugly to resolve software risks.
- Compulsory URA quota of 6%, leading to a high number of PIPs.
