I bring it up with people IRL and they look confused. Is Blind not reality? Or is it them just being nice? (Specifically amazon sde 1s)
Axon is known to be slave drivers and not a great paymaster compared to other fang. But, their products are good and it adds value to resume. Question is can you survive and are you ready to eat, sleep and breathe work. Lastly, sit doesnot matter we get people think. All that matters, is what you think about your work and where you work. The same people who think you are inferior today will pat your back tmrw .
Where will HQ2 be?
The new grad sde1s and interns are rather subpar. Sde2 +people who have survived a couple years were quite impressive in how much they knew.
Why do Amazonians bring this topic up incessantly? I would jump ship to Amazon if they offered me big TC, what other people think be damned.
Yeah. The hate on amazon here is overblown.
El86 - but will they offer you big TC?
Some of the devs I have worked with were absolutely terrible. One guy who had been here for a few years asked me what RAM was when he was looking at buying a new computer and I thought he was joking. He wasn't.
Lol
I did not until I learnt their shitty TC.
Have you heard of the term amholes?
How’d that come about?
Ever since I heard they hire new grads with only a 30 min phone screen in place of the onsite I've lost all respect for them
Not sure I understand the question. Everyone typically hates amazon employees for fouling up the bus capacity, driving up the cost of living to insane levels, making traffic a nightmare, and making it impossible to find a table at any restaurant during lunch hour. DT is overrun with socially inept nerds with lousy fashion sense with their faces in their phones and headphones on and not being known to be courteous to their fellow pedestrians navigating DT. This is why SLU folks coined the term “Amholes”.
Is that it? I don’t care about what sub 100k plebs think about us. I’m talking about people at FB and Google and I guess Apple
I think you guys need to be exorcised of the ghost of Bezos when you leave to work for other companies. I’ve noticed a pattern of Amazon expats having to adjust to not having to throw their peers under the bus, to be combative, and to work well on a team when acclimatizing to life outside of Amazon. Other than that they seem on par with everyone else I work will skill wise. Just wouldn’t ever want to work for Amazon.
People think Amazon engineers are inferior everywhere and especially in Seattle area. Note that this has not much due to your ability as an engineer but your perceived and often confirmed lack of soul
What?
Case in point
