How much is ops load in Alexa teams? Do we have work life balance or just work :)

Microsoft CxpM00 OP Aug 30, 2017

Haha..kind of.., As compared to AWS and retail. And scope for non-ML/AI SDEs

Amazon HarryWise Aug 30, 2017

U meant only work!

I heard attrition is more in Alexa teams.

Intuit uf Aug 30, 2017

Isnt attrition atleast 2 years at Amazon? I read somewhere that you will need to return the bonus prorated if you leave the company before 2 years? Ofcourse not from Amazon so dont know the facts!

Sign bonus can be kept after completing a year, a lot of people complete one year and then leave. Most stocks don't vest until your 3rd and 4th year however. Average tenure at Amazon is 1 year.
