Look. Every time I come in Blind, it’s negative shit about Amazon. Does anybody have positive feedback about Amazon?
You get fang experience for your next role and can probably tolerate stress from any other major company after working for Amazon.
Best response ever
Stock price i guess? I'm in a team with 35-40 hr work days with low ops, 280 tc 3 YoE... Plenty of learning opportunities I feel.. Leveraged some AWS tech on projects: rds, dynamo, lambda, kinesis, redshift, s3, sqs, sns, elasticache Originally was in worse team but switched and live happily ever after
8 years. TC went from 110k to 380k. I have learned distributed systems, many tech stacks (Mason, ios, android. Spring mvc, scala, kotlin, aws, spark, emr, etc) My scope keeps increasing with time. I have great freedom to design my systems, try new shit, and influence the product. Wlb was initially bad (my own choice to grind my way to senior). Now my wlb is insanely good (can do 4-6 hour days sometimes). My teams have been very good. Theres some corporate politics, some people are toxic but most are not. Have made some great friends and strong networking. Most people on blind are junior entitled divas who lack talent and get pushed out by Amazon. They call the company toxic. Maybe if they were at google they would be rewarded. At Amazon they would be put on performance plans. You don't see the talent complaining here on blind. They are rewarded and get the most interesting work. So if you are looking for rest and vest company, it's not the best choice.

I was in a really bad team, then one of the people who contributed to the toxic environment left. So it was good for a while. Then a lot of reorgs happened and now it's a complete shit show and very toxic.
Can't think of any
Amazon is the worst

Amazon has the best deployment system for its services. It's better at APIs and web services than say Google used to be and they have really ducking awesome build tools. The only problem is that AWS is not a tech company. It's more of a web and enterprise infrastructure company. This is why Amazon will most likely not do their own OS or programming language but they will milk the duck out of cloud.
