I started less than a week ago, I interviewed for a TypeScript React role, and the role is Java Server Pages. I’ve never worked with JSP, nor do I care to. The tooling is horrendous, and everything is proprietary. Development environment setup guides are like 20+ page essays that have steps that nest 5 levels deep making you forget what you were even doing. I am working on something legacy that can only be developed in a cloud desktop, so I have to spend several days setting this up just to begin development. I am already assigned a high severity ticket that’s due by end of week. Is this normal for big companies? TC: 290
Do you have another offer in hand? If you do then leave ASAP.
Our team doesn’t even assign oncall in the first 2.5 months. LMK if you want to switch
What team?
Sounds like you should quit
Sounds like a hire to fire. You’ll be put on pip for not completing the task. Start looking elsewhere, that sucks for sure.
The poorly written, nested, confusing on-boarding docs are definitely an Amazon thing. You get used to it (and I do see initiatives to improve it). Letting any random engineer PR to BuilderHub doesn’t seem to be an effective strategy for documentation maintenance. Getting assigned a Sev2 in your first week is… concerning. I don’t expect anyone to know anything about anything in their first three months. My team doesn’t add new hires to the oncall rotation for six months, and even then it’s with a buddy/shadow. That and the JSP bait-and-switch… I’d be looking for a new team for sure.
Whats your team?
Is this in Ads?
No.
Thanks. You have me nervous because I accepted an FEE 2 role with similar comp, and the HM mentioned occasionally working in Java…. 😳

How common is it actually to earn more than 300K TC?
Run. Assigning a sev 2 in the first week is a huge red flag. Bug fixing or development under a sev 2 is the other. Using JSP is another.
