Fast Growth, Long Hours
Fast Growth, Long Hours
Fast-Paced Environment: Amazon’s culture is known for its “move fast” attitude, which can be great for learning and growth. You’re constantly exposed to new technologies and encouraged to innovate. This environment pushed me to become a more efficient and effective engineer.
Work-Life Balance: Amazon’s fast-paced environment can come at the cost of work-life balance. There were periods where I had to work long hours, especially during critical project deadlines, and this could sometimes lead to burnout.

Software Engineer
Interviewers are rude and lack empathy towards the human race. You must be a machine to apply. And even then, it’s random whether or not you get the job, even if you perform better than most.

I was screened by a recruiter and then asked to take a software engineering test. The test was difficult, and I did not pass. There were two questions on the test. To pass, you had to get both correct.

I just did the pre-screening call, but was found that I wouldn't be a good fit for this role based on experience incompatibilities. The job was more on the AWS side, where my experience was not.
