Amazon is a great company to work for. Across the board great innovation and good amount of ownership on tech and non tech side. The culture is a bit aggressive but if you survive you basically are an asset for most companies in the world. I have heard way too many people complain about lack of perks. Itās weird that even after providing the least perks they have the max innovation coming out and some of the best devs working for it. Donāt you guys wonder why!?!? Millennials canāt stop complaining.
Wait until you are managed out for being too old! PS: not a millennial myself.

DAY 2
It's funny because when I take my daily walks I never see people outside of Microsoft/Google/HP/etc smoking. The Amazon building has multiple groups of people who look like engineers standing outside and smoking cigarettes looking like they're suicidal and want to jump in front of a car.
OP, out of curiosity, how old are you?
I mean, yea. I'm 21, if the company I apply to doesn't have cool perks, I'm not interested.
What is a cool perk?
On site laundry, filling up gas for me while I'm at work, free SFMOMA whenever w/+1. Those are just the ones I use the most.
Who cares about innovation if you have to work like a dog and are treated like a disposable piece of garbage? Go have a banana with that koolaid. š
Haha.. this question was for real software developers.. not the ones MS hires..
Lolād at this ācomebackā. That would be a valid point if you werenāt from Amazon. How long did you spend learning leadership principles before your interview eh?
I love Amazon products and services. I use them almost exclusively for many purchases. I have echos all throughout my house. I have always loved Microsoft, as well. Windows 10 is awesome and I have always liked the office suite of products. Google is cool, too. I use a lot of their services and their autonomous car research is really exciting. Netflix continues to be amazing and I love the quality content they pump out. It's a great value. Facebook pretty much sucks. I don't spend a lot of time on it. Of the companies listed here, that thing is nothing short of a pile of turds. Great for arm chair politics and spreading hate. I hate Facebook.
Ha! āA bitā
