I have recently got offer from Amazon. Could someone please share his/her experience with the team or work there? TC: 230 YOE: 3
I worked in Alexa. Really cool, interesting projects. Downside is WLB. Alexa is growing so fast everything is always melting down.
I have talked to the team. They don’t seem very “gothic” or “gamey” - more white bread. Essentially they are looking for hired hands, not geniuses or scholars. But at the same time not r-tards. Basically average joes who can sling a few bits.
Depends what kind of team, Cloud, App, devices etc. each very different
Avoid like the plague. Almost all teams here in Sunnyvale have uniformly messed up WLB. Go only if you want to belt out 13 hour days 365 days a year.
That's scary..
It’s great. What group there?
Alexa seems to be prioritizing expansion at the expense of engineering quality, and it hasn’t imploded, yet. At the same time the privacy shitstorms and whipsawing back and forth to accommodate breaking changes and deprecations from platform teams means there is always at least one probably two fires to put out.
