After reading all the blind comments, I'm having so much concerns about joining Amazon. I'm done with the onsite loop, and got good feed back from recruiter, basically waiting for offer now. But current job at twilio is like a dead-end, good wlb though, but no growth and nothing new to learn. What should I do?!
Delete blind
now, interview with Ramp
Amazon has a lot of employees the chances of you seeing terrible experiences are that much higher. Have you talked to your HM, the team? There are good teams and ppl at Amazon
Exactly. People calling themselves engineers can’t understand this simple numbers math. 😀
Its not numbers. Good teams/managers are the exception. There are great people though. You will have some wonderful colleagues who suffer with you.
Meh, I’m going into my final round at AWS for a team and manager I interviewed with early on seems pretty cool. Overall, keeping an open mind but yeah I wouldn’t look too much into comments. I’ve gotten pretty positive feedback to specific questions and is really team dependent.
People who say nothing new to learn IMO are usually the issue. You need to navigate and carve out your own space. To me as a hiring manager, that means one is not being proactive
some jobs are just rote dead ends, wouldn't generalize
Yo google hm, thanks for the googlyness tip
Well, not just for resume, also want to learn more, gain more knowledge , and see how bigger companies working with their projects. Plus, it's Aws which I believe I can learn so much, but at twilio I'm just a user for aws.
I was at Amazon. My experience was not bad.
You can always go to Amazon for a year then move somewhere else. I can't say my experience there was the most enjoyable, but it wasn't awful and the pip concerns everyone on blind talks about I never worried about
The manager I interviewed with seems like a pretty cool dude who had worked in amazon for 5.5 years. And he said he really liked me from the interview feedback.

Interview somewhere else.
I failed facebook, no hope for google. I just want to join Fang for my resume, but seems like only Amazon want me.
There’s more out there than FAANG. Twilio is already going to be good on a resume. You could always wait a bit to try FB again. Or just look for another well regarded company outside of fang. Or just give Amazon a shot. Lots of people find good teams over there
