Interesting Work, Painful Pager
Interesting Work, Painful Pager
Interesting work. Smart co-workers to learn from. Good pay. Many web service technologies to become familiar with.
• Painful pager duty • Prioritizes quick launches over stable products • Workload can get high • Minimal perks
I think the above is applicable to many large companies, but the pager duty is something specific with Amazon.

First was an exam of problem-solving with 2 questions. Then 4 interviews over 2 days, or all in 1 day after the exam passed, but I didn't join them; I just did the exam.
