Hi, I have an opportunity to interview for any one of following teams at AWS for SDE positions in Bay area. It would be great if anyone could provide some information on Work life balance and how is the PIP situation in these teams. Location : Bay area - Elastic search service - Athena - Glue Role : SDE ( backend engineer) Current TC : 165k Yoe : 1.5+ #swe #engineering #software
I had to work with the elasticsearch team on a cross service thing. They are overwhelmed by ops and are constantly grinding
FWIW working at actual elastic is pretty nice and we have backend openings, though it's relatively rare for us to have junior spots it's worth taking a look
Can agree with the tirade against AWS ElasticSearch team in Palo Alto
Interviewed with AWS Elasticsearch team in Palo Alto. Many Interviewers were having 12 or less months of experience which indicated high attrition. Also Interviewers looked quite burnt out and lifeless, like zombies.
Have been in AWS Elasticsearch Service team for few years now and all above stated is untrue. If you are looking for challenge and exciting projects and are ready to learn, come over.
Run away from elasticsearch. Search on blind for older threads on this topic
Haven't worked in ES but interacted with them for some issues and was left with a very bad impression. Didn't seem to have good culture and engineers seemed stressed and antagonistic
Can confirm, filled with arrogant assholes.
