Was your original team in retail or AWS? Also how do you figure out what team is good/bad when trying to switch teams?

- valbaca 6y agoI never worked in AWS Really just gossip is what you have to go off of initially. After you've been at the company for a bit, when you're interested in a new team, you can usually get some meet-and-greet meeting with current members on the team. That's the time to ask really tough questions, even potentially awkward questions: how many times do you get paged? What's the worst project you've worked on? What's the average tenure of team members? When people leave the team, do they leave Amazon? (If they leave Amazon, then the team is less to blame, otherwise, beware).
- romanovtexas 6y agoI would have guessed AWS from your post since it's the more notorious one about bad WLB. As a new grad SDE1, things are bit horrifying especially since I've onboarded remotely.
