Wondering how are the following teams in Amazon/AWS .Looks like some are tier 1 services . Most of the jobs locations are based in Seattle or Bay area/Irvine CA. How is the wlb/learning scope/on call/Attrition/pip etc ? Thanks in advance . AWS Global Accelerator AWS Anti DDos AWS ec2 nitro AWS EC2 SDN AWS EC2 load balancing AWS clickstream AWS Embedded networking devices Lab126 wifi connectivity team Amazon Luna Proton Team / new world(MMIO) / Luna Core streaming Alexa Auto quattro Prime air firmware apps team TC : 150k #amazon #aws #embedded #gaming
Avoid tier 1 services if you want wlb
Gaming team (Luna/new world) sounds fun
Why ? Did you have experience working there ?
I work with different EC2 teams (AutoScaling, VPC, IPAM, and Global Accelerator) and the SDEs and TPMs have all been great to work with. Leading up to new releases/re:Invent does take a lot of out of everyone. Period. Service teams have to hit a level of scale most companies never dream of, and that scale requires testing/validation and late nights. It really is team dependent. How staffed is the team? Do they have any major announcements planned for this year? All of those things can impact your WLB. At the end of the day, I set boundaries and hold to them: “no, I don’t have the ability to fit that work in” or “It is not possible for me to get that done as I have these other commitments X, Y, Z. If you want to help me load shed some of those, then I can take on additional work.” Learn to negotiate your own success. Bring your data and a solution, not just a “no”. Don’t just cruise. Don’t just run yourself into the ground.
Thanks. What's the difference between these teams and foundational teams ?
I am not familiar with that term “Foundational Teams”?
Dang. I’ve never worked for Amazon, but I’ve heard any EC2 team should be easily avoided
at azure and gcp too i believe
Isn’t GCP management purely a remnant of the toxic Amazon “PIP-py” managers?
