I have SDE offer from Amazon. Like to know which org Alexa AI or AWS WWRO is good. Which org is better for growth in skills as good software developer. Commenting reasons would be most helpful.
What’s WWRO?
World Wide Revenue Operations
Run from both if possible.
Can you explain in what terms are they horrible? Is the quality of work worst or the people?
WWRO is a cost center for sales. You can search for the VPs/Directors/SDMs on LinkedIn. They are all sales people or having some kind of audit experience, with weird / no tech background. Alexa is known to be a dumpster however I would still prefer to work to death as an SDE rather than a literal slave.
AWS has better quality code and infrastructure but worse WLB. A lot of the really bad Amazon PIP and toxicity horror stories you hear are from AWS orgs. Alexa has janky code and infrastructure but much more chill culture and WLB. It's nothing like the horror stories you hear elsewhere.
WWRO has relatively good work life balance. DM for more info
