Considering the negativity around Amazon, if money is not my main criteria for switching, should I ever join Amazon?
P.S. WLb above all.

    Remember - sample here is biased. Most Amazonians have no idea what Blind is. Also happy customers usually don’t leave reviews at all, something that folks at Amazon know very well. The same applies to working choices. Amazon is not the best place for WLB, but not the worst either. It’s just way too big to generalise. There are teams with great WLB and there are those where WLB sucks.

      @day1_coach, if what you said is true, then how come other companies on Blind aren't soul crushers like Amazon?

      But this is an apple to apple comparison. People are comparing Amazon with other companies. The same set of biases you mentioned apply to them as well. Thus when you control for industry, country (that Blind mostly does), the negativity around Amazon is warranted.

    Amazon is one of the worst company out there: On-call and PIP culture makes WLB hard to maintain. Amazon is like a financial company: money first, people last.

    Only if you want to do a hell lot of work, put a lot of effort under pressure...and with this hellish experience, grow and learn multifold real fast!

    The more work and pressure you feel, the more you grow

      Spoken like a good little corporate slave. Do you also bow and pray to bozos every night before you go to bed?

      No I agree that work and pressure helps people grow as engineers faster. It makes for a terrible experience but there are more accomplishments to list later.

    Was at Amazon. Loved it. Will probably go back someday. The right team and the right manager makes all the difference for WLB.
