Why Amazon has this bad name. I’ve many friends that parking as SDE and they keep on complaining of fear of layoffs and actual layoffs? Also heard that this is in there primary principles too. I have an offer from Amazon Seatle. But don’t want to join the company where you are continuously under pressure.
Not sure what you would like to hear. Don’t come? Or come? If you let me know what you are inclined towards, I can help reinforce it.
Just go work without doing politics, get the brand on your resume and move on to other FANG. Can’t give more advice than that. Many companies have toxic politics. It’s just that Amazon stands out because there are lot of Amazon folks here and also it being in top companies, anything that happens stands out.
Thanks for the feedback. That helpful
Joined a month ago and love it. Super easy wlb. I’ve worked at many fortune companies and this is the easiest job I’ve had
I would disagree with that thought. It’s a really big company with a number of different types of organizations with and variety of functions. Your experience at amazon could vary largely based on your role ( product, program, SDE, BI, ops etc) and the team you are on. For sure, there will always be pressure to outperform others when the company is growing at such fast pace but there is a lot of exciting work as well. The culture allows you to be creative and not just get hung up on standard day to day job. Sure you’ll find politics across the company, but then that’s the truth with most big corporations. I’d take the offer if the role seems interesting enough and not worry about other things. Worst case you’ll be looking for another job a few months down the line, but atleast you will have Amazon’s name on your resume, which has a really high market value!
Thanks a lot that was very descriptive and gave me clear understanding. I would definitely give it a thought. As I have another offer also from Salesforce and apple I was giving Amazon a second thought.
