Any advice for picking a team at Amazon? How can I make sure I get a laidback team with interesting work and good learning opportunities, while avoiding the horror stories that appear every once in a while?
LOL your requirements smell of CAP theorem. All can never be possible at the same time
Is there no team with good wlb within amazon? Really? Not a single team?
I have friends that are very happy with the wlb at Amazon... pretty sure its just a meme
Teams with good WLB balance yes. Team with good WLB with interesting/meaningful work, not sure - let me know if you find something. Maybe some offline system software? (But then why not just work for a company that specialize in them.)
You can pick? All my interviewers said they have great WLB! ;)
"Laidback team with interesting work and good learning opportunities" - forget Amazon, no place can offer such team 🤔
Or... at least some subset :p
