Hi all, I received an offer from Amazon Lab 126 for a application security role. The work is fully remote. I will never be in the office or even in the same time zone with the rest of my team. In my current role I have great work life balance and very little stress. How is the culture in security teams at Lab126? I read all the horror stories of SDEs. Is it the same for security teams or is it any better? They are offering ~150K (high end salary for my location) YOE: 8 #cybersecurity #security #lab126
All security teams in Amazon are mostly understaffed and overworked. There are always more releases with the expectation that every minor release needs a review and any miss will get inspected from multiple people and a COE will be expected 60% of the time. Having said that, you will learn new things which will be hard to come by at other places and the flat level culture will give you a lot of exposure. I’d say apart from the WLB piece it’s a good opportunity.
How’s google? Any nice teams?
It’s fun. Most teams are nice.
150 for a senior security position in any serious tech company is fucking insulting.
