I have a life now.
/mic drop
Love the tech and the people but not the workaholic culture. It was probably more about me than management, but management didn’t help.
Bonus: after joining Adobe I got to actually *use* AWS full-time. Holy moly...better than making it :).
Kudos to those who find a way to make it work at Amazon. Seriously.
Pros of amazon.
Way more smarter people
Work is super interesting depending on the team
Amz stock and pay is better
Less politics compared to my old team there
Cons:
Cannot coast or take it easy
Work life balance is similar but slightly higher stress
Less dumb ppl to bullshit your way to the top
Bigger teams so have to work better and sometimes less visibility
Overall the best decision of my life so far
Amazon pros-
Better work quality
Flexibility in switching teams
Cons
No free food
Don't get time for volley, tennis etc
Adobe is awesome in terms of WLB.
In Amazon You can get paged at 1am and may be expected to work overnight to fix sev1s
Lot's of operational issues- this is team specific.
Every 4-5 months team reorg happens and you will have lots of manager change
Performance review system in Amazon is broken. Its very easy to get PIP here. You job in Adobe is secure. This is not the case with Amazon. One mistake and viola, your manager get data points to put you in coaching plan.
Shops ‘shop
This is urgent.
