Great opportunities and impactful work, but demanding environment
Working at Amazon as a software developer provides great opportunities to work on large-scale systems, solve challenging technical problems, and learn from experienced engineers. The strong ownership culture, career growth opportunities, competitive compensation, and ability to make a meaningful impact are some of the biggest advantages.
The fast-paced environment, high expectations, on-call responsibilities, and demanding workload can sometimes make maintaining a work-life balance challenging.

Multiple recruiters contacted me and scheduled times to talk. However, none of them showed up to the meetings or responded to my follow-up emails about rescheduling. This is not a great sign for how they handle their processes.
