No WLB (work-life balance), good place to boost skills, lots of in-house tools
No WLB (work-life balance), good place to boost skills, lots of in-house tools
A great place to pick up new skills. Always encouraged.
- No work-life balance.
- Your rapport with your manager means everything.
- Upskilling on in-house tools takes a ton of time, and you'll end up working with these for a majority of your workday. These are throwaway skills and time outside of Amazon.

Sr Data Engineer
I applied through a recruiter. The first screening test. Based on what I read from other people's experiences, I studied so many different things, but that only asked very basic SQL and mostly multiple choice platform questions.
Software Development Engineer (SDE1)
The interview process was tough. There were back-to-back technical rounds. One was a Bar Raiser round, and two were LeetCode rounds. Two medium-level questions were asked in each round, along with discussions on LP principles.
Machine Learning Engineer
I only had the first round. A recruiter reached out to me as I had applied for another role. The total time to interview was two weeks. One recruiter interview and then with the hiring manager.
