Pros and Cons
Pros and Cons
- Endless opportunity within the organization and internal transfers are part of the culture.
- Flexible; if you are meeting deadlines and providing impact, you have a lot of control over your time.
- Long work hours. As an SDE L4, working 60+ hours a week to deliver was not uncommon. This is very org dependent.
- Very little mentorship. Amazon is frugal, and it shows in their hiring practices and team building.
Provide Senior engineers with more support and time to help mentor and grow juniors.
