High Compensation. High Stress
High Compensation. High Stress
I nearly doubled my total comp from my previous role.
People are nice. Everyone commiserates together about how much work sucks.
I've nearly tripled my stress related to work from my previous role. I also work more because I have less time off, fewer holidays, and I have to be on call (i.e., within 15 minutes of my laptop at all times) even on weekends and holidays.
Tooling is awful. The company is unbelievably stingy about architecting. Decisions come from on-high without good explanation and are expected to go unchallenged.

Amazon's hiring process is very long. Firstly, they choose you and after that, send an exam. But I have never passed this exam. I have applied three times and I continue to try. I believe that it can happen one day.
