Challenging problems, amazing coworkers, and frontier technology.
The work-life balance is awful. There is a lack of documentation, and the one available happens to be outdated, making it useless. The learning curve becomes a problem if you are on a new project.
I know the importance of the bias for action principle, but rushing projects and having incomplete documentation, workbooks, and runbooks, combined with people leaving all the time, makes it a death sentence during the on-call week.
You can't keep tolerating sacrificing long-term goals to accomplish short-term milestones.

Amazon Interview Questions
Amazon Interview Experiences
Software Development Engineer
The interview experience for me was very good overall. It was the best I had at any company. The recruiters were in contact frequently and made sure that I knew what to expect from the interview. I had an Online Assessment, a 1-hour technical screen

The interview consisted of debugging, two online code screenings, and a behavioral interview, followed by an online interview with a LeetCode medium question. The interview process was very streamlined and not too difficult.

The first question in the technical interview section was simple. As I solved it, they added more and more layers of complexity. I got it correct, but maybe my solution was suboptimal because I did not make it to the next interview round.
