High quota to PIP, benefit not great
High quota to PIP, benefit not great
Move fast and can learn public cloud technologies.
Amazon almost never lays off and is always hiring, thanks to their PIP system.
High URA quota. In my org, 16% quota is used to put employees on a dev list, which is a prelude to a performance improvement plan (PIP). 6% of employees were put directly into PIVOT as a PIP for one month. As a result, 10% of employees will be fired each year.
Amazon is the only place I've worked where teammates discuss PIPs publicly and complain about company benefits from day one.
Employees cannot vest 401k if they leave without long tenure.

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
