I worked at Amazon 8 years and it is very manager and team dependent on what your experience is. I got to work on S3 and Alexa, and have no regrets. I learned so much, had a bunch of fun and worked with really smart people. Got paid well too.
Downside, there was no free snacks. shrug
- dktoao 4y agoI'm sure there are great teams to work for at Amazon. After all it is a large company with many different offices all over that does a lot of different things. However, my naïve estimation is that I am not very likely to land on one of these teams and much more likely to end up in a meat grinder. However, like I said, that is just my perception and I could be wrong. I just don't intend to find out.
- influx 4y agoFor sure, it's not for everyone, and I would encourage everyone at any job they interview for to also vet the people and team you are going to be working with. Ask them hard questions about performance, expectations and on call burden.
