I will be joining Amazon next month as SDE-1 in seattle. I could use advice on how to grow in my org and in amazon in general. What to do and what not to do? What to expect?
What not to do ? Don’t join Amazon and ruin your career
This is the worst advice ever. Joining Amazon you’ll learn to work for a big and fast paced company ( sometime depending on the org it can be slow ). But it will set you up for future and get you interviews with other big companies. 2 years is a good target and then move on.
Agreed^ (good starting point)

Because we are best in what we do
Rest and vest
How's work pressure at Palo Alto Networks, career growth, package? For 12 yoe QA automation role
Join, settle, evaluate who has been around for a while and is SDE2 or SDE3. See who is willing to spend time getting you to grips with Amazon and work, ask them if they can mentor you otherwise ask your manager to help you find a mentor. Every org is different and culture can be quite different on a director level. Too big a company now
