Look. Every time I come in Blind, itโ€™s negative shit about Amazon.

Does anybody have positive feedback about Amazon?

    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.

    You get fang experience for your next role and can probably tolerate stress from any other major company after working for Amazon.

    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
