I am joining the team soon, just curious how the work culture will be!
Which director
Didn't tell me
Stay away if it is Amit Fisher
Have not heard great things about the team - following to hear more
If you are joining soon, isn't it a bit late to wonder how the work culture will be...
I can still decline offer and accept the others
What are your other offers? I am curious why Amzn?
I have heard great things about Alex! Everyone loves working on him.
Hope I join his team
@OP have heard similar things from a friend who works in the org. It's too fluid and the engineers think they are rockstars and mangers behave as if they own it. He's interviewing actively and planning on leaving soon
Alexa voice shopping?
There is no restriction on internal transfer, if you don’t like the team you can move internally. Not a big deal at all and don’t sweat over it. Enjoy!
Is there one Alexa shopping team in San Francisco?
Yes there is one.
I recently interviewed this team and surprised they spent around 20 mins(each 45 min round) on behavior questions. Toxic. They only want slaves.
Standard Amazon interviews include behavioral questions. This alone isn’t indicative of a bad team. If you don’t demonstrate the leadership principles, you won’t be successful here anyway.
^ This. I thought Apple is more toxic, or so I have been told by folks who left Apple and joined Lab126. You’ll find lots of them
Have you bought anything using Alexa?
