I can't think of any pros in the company. If I can think of one thing, it may be salary or benefits, but it's usually for the namesake. Management will try to remove higher-paid employees before huge vesting, unless you are related to management by background or willing to give good feedback to management, even if they are counterproductive to the company. I observed this more often with some managers who came from Capital One across Amazon.
Bad management. Leadership principles are used against employees who try to do the right thing for the company or their career. Promotions are only given to employees whom management thinks will provide good reviews for their further promotion or related.
You may not learn much here in terms of career development. Technologies and tools are internal to Amazon, and won't help a lot outside the company, other than AWS Cloud.
Management raises budget concerns during comp review. I have heard the same in many other teams in AWS. People are getting laid off or will be removed by Pivot/PIP for any reason whenever they reach their higher vesting period, unless their salaries are low.
Remove L7 managers who only care about promotions and got their promotion recently. Remove those who only worry about keeping their job instead of doing productive actions for the company. Remove biased L7 managers. Remove L6 managers who are learning the same from L7s for promotion. It used to be a great company years ago; I think it can still reach that again if identified before it's too late. Recognize younger talent more at higher management. These individuals can inform stakeholders about the truth and also bring diverse ideas to the table that can actually be productive.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. The interview process consisted of an OA first and then an invite to the onsite interview via Amazon Chime. * First Round - Leadership Principles * Second Round - LLD * Third Round - DSA
It was the third round, which was after my OA. They had LeetCode questions with some behavioral questions, and the last round was about building a search engine. It was an overall difficult experience.
Four rounds in one day. It was pretty stressful. There were two Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) design questions and two algorithm and data structure questions. The third one was hard; the interviewer didn't guide me too much and didn't even give
