AWS - good place to learn, bad work environment
AWS - good place to learn, bad work environment
Some teams are great for learning good software engineering practices. A good design doc-driven culture in engineering and a no-nonsense work environment is somewhat refreshing. The compensation is decent.
Micromanagement and outright lack of trust in employees is the norm. The on-call burden can be really bad in some teams. Artificial deadline pressure and fear of getting PIPed make for a bad team ambience (even if you're not worried about it yourself).

Applied online and got a kind of leet code exercise to complete. If you are successful they book you for another one. I couldn't complete the problem, so I didn't progress.
