Great place to work if you are willing to work hard!
Great place to work if you are willing to work hard!
Lots of positives about Amazon like:
- Ability to make an impact on end users.
- Talented and smart people to work with.
- No need to reinvent the wheel for the most part, so you can get to work on exciting stuff.
- Pager duty for SDEs. This sucks; you are pretty much tied down to your work/home for that week as you need to respond to pages within minutes.
- Do not agree with stack ranking for reviews.
- Higher burn-out rate. Usually see developers lasting about 2 years before they move on.
Lower the attrition rate, hire QA teams which gives developers time to build systems, and reduce operations/support overhead on developers.
