There is a lot of hate on blind for Amazon, but I’m hoping I can hear from others who actually like being here. I have ~1yoe and very happy with my team placement, manager, comp, wlb, and trajectory for growth. This is everything I couldve ever asked for in my career. (I dont mean to flex; I dont think i realize how good I have it right now lol) TC: 170K SDE 1, SEA
It's stupid to generalize a company with tens of thousands of engineers anyways. Your manager/skip is way more important imo.
The guy who jumped off the building was heard feeling the same way towards the start.
It's always roses and flowers at the beginning. It's also always a lot harder after seeing a few reorgs, layoffs, managerial changes, meaningless tasks and memos and politics as you move up the ladder.
I like my job. Amazon almost 2 years. I won’t lie, there have been a few rough days and I do work more in this job compared to previous employer but all good so far.
I love it. I feel bad for everyone at G having to put up with the SJWs, it's super apolitical here with a lot of talented people.
Give it time dude....
