The salary is pretty high. All in all, I was at about $160k/year. Still not worth it.
The culture is awful. If you're a software engineer, I highly suggest you find another job, as there are many more.
I worked in downtown Seattle for an AWS team, and everyone in the building I worked in seemed perpetually depressed. Hours were long (some team members worked 30+ hours straight), and almost all employees were foreigners on H1B visas who were more-or-less forced to put up with the conditions or leave the country.
In addition to this, the internal tooling is really old and outdated, leaving few opportunities to learn cutting-edge technologies, and the developer operations is an extremely mismanaged nightmare.
I've never seen people crying at their desks like some claim to have seen, but nonetheless, this is obviously not a healthy place to work.
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.
First round: Hiring manager screening. This covers leadership principles important for the job. Final round: Five interviews with a writing assessment. Each round covers around three leadership principles. All interviews are behavioral.
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.
