How is the Alexa Mobile team in Seattle?
I will be interviewing for the Alexa Mobile team as well as device software and services team. Not sure if they both are the same ? Any inputs about the culture, work life balance, interview questions etc would be really appreciated. Thanks! #amazon #alexa #interview
Serious question, what team in Amazon is not a mess?
The team in charge of labeling other teams as messes. It's cross-org and delivering results.
The PIP process team
Could you please elaborate
Depends if you care about mobile development or not. If you're a generic SDE then it'll just seem like any other job. If you care about iOS or Android, then you'll be disgusted. I've worked in both their Android and iOS codebases as an away team and I hate it. Sure, it's relatively organized and they have systems in place. But honestly, it's a shit show. It's too big and all the React Native is pretty obvious with how awful it feels to actually use the app.
Where did you go now?
Don't join. It's a mess
Could you please elaborate ? Wlb sucks ? Too much politics ? No growth?
