Amazon

I'm working at AWS. The system is well made, but it's also complicated enough to let you spend a year just learning it.

It's a sort of survival game here. It also seems the company doesn't care about employee departures. There are always many people on the line willing to join the team, but once they join, sooner or later, many look for another opportunity. The management layer is filled with non-engineering people who mostly care about numbers. You should expect to work harder here, even on weekends. Engineers are responsible for everything, which includes operations, deployment, and on-call support. Which is fine, but I don't feel it's that much of a cooperative environment. Visibility management is a must here.

What do you think is the reason why it's hard to see people who worked here more than two years?
