Working in away team models were my worst time at Amazon and this my worst times in my professional life. You’re not supported but being expected to deliver by your “home” team. Meanwhile the away team has no obligation to help you. Can spin their thumbs and give you three day turn arounds on code reviews only to move the goal posts and/or hold you to some unattainable standard. For example “all integration tests need to pass” while the integration tests haven’t even STARTED correctly in over a year. Not to mention the increased visibility and communication that comes with now effectively having 2+ managers you have to report to and keep in the loop. FUCK. THE. AWAY. TEAM. MODEL. I’ve lived through it and it seriously burned me out harder than anything else in my life.
