Staying one year or five years is not important. It is important that you feel part of the team and valued.
If I read between the lines, you sound stressed (for whatever reason). You might have been reading too much into the firing/layoff. You might have an unrealistic expectation of the performance required out of you.
In Amazon, you would spend a lot more time interacting with teams that just writing code. The interdependencies between the teams are insane and depending on the level and your team, a lot of work would look ad-hoc and not well planned.
Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about it separately.

- vaidhy 4y agoSorry.. just saw this comment. It is not secretly as opposed to it might be planned at a director level.. but when it comes to actual engineers, it would not be necessarily efficient use of engineer's time. There is also lot of communication gap and trying to make build everything in 6 months what was scheduled for a year because of various release freezes.
