High salary and low everything else
High salary and low everything else
Amazon pays well. You will also learn how to be assertive (aggressive) about your opinions, how to navigate Type-A politics, and how to debug difficult code.
Amazon has some insane turnover. A little more than a year after I left, most of the people I knew there on LinkedIn have switched companies. It's not because those companies are great or pay well; it's just because when you've been at Amazon for a year or two, your attitude tends to be, "I don't see how it could get worse than this."
Treat your employees like human beings, and they might stick around a bit.

Amazon Interview Experiences

It was good, but they didn't respond to me for a long time after 14 days. I asked them why, but they didn't respond back.
Software Engineer
Initial phone call with a recruiter, followed by a 90-minute coding assignment. This consisted of standard LeetCode-style algorithm and data structures problems, loosely related to the specific role and easy to prepare for by using normal resources.

Only one round for the intern position. The first part of the interview was technical questions. I got one "out of the box" question and one LeetCode question created by the interviewer, not on the list. The second part of the interview was behaviora
