Amazon Software Engineers: Questions from a Newcomer
Hello Blind,
I am joining Amazon next week to try my hand at getting PIP-ed, and I have some questions that I would like to try getting answered before joining. The position is remote. Here are the questions:
1. Does Amazon have a way for employees to use remote desktop to get to their work laptops for example? I ask because although I have received all of my equipment, I don't really have a place in my house to set it up, and would prefer to instead use remote desktop to access my work machine via my personal machine if possible.
2. Are webcams required during meetings? I really hate webcams and would prefer to not use them if possible. I would imagine that they are expected when conducting an interview, but otherwise, can they be unused?
3. Even though my position is remote, I live in a city that has a physical Amazon office. In the unlikely event that I am in the mood to be social, would I be allowed to show up and work out of that office if I wanted to?
