How is Amazon Device OS org for SWE? (Lab126, Devices, Device Software)

In terms of culture/WLB, interesting work, impact/growth, talent, thrash. I’ve heard WLB is generally bad at Devices/Lab126 - why is that? The team I interviewed with has no oncall yet and said hours can be pretty chill (9 to 5/6), but seems like an outlier. It’s also a newer team so I’d expect chaos, but apparently not? Everyone seemed nice tho. TC: 180k #tech #amazon #lab126

Core DeviceOS. Heard of it?

Project Vega? Ask if it’s VegaOS. Imo most of the interesting work on that team is done

Lab126 is a giant org. RTO is per team. Don’t spread false information. I’m in 126 and we have no RTO.

What generally makes it so bad/chaotic at Lab126 (compared to other orgs)? Changing requirements, deadlines?

Lab126 has been chill for me. Great management in my division
