Hi,

I’d really appreciate it if you could share your insights about these two orgs: WLB, Growth, etc.

I’m asking for a friend, and this is for a junior position, SWE

Thanks a lot

    Fast Data Tech is a mini kingdom in retail that is selling itself as a mini snowflaky aws for amzn retail. It blows my mind that the org exists the way it does.
    Truly mind boggling. Their billing and capacity reservations involves excel sheets. Like wtf. Okay maybe capacity had since moved to self service, but still.
    Also there is a sizable FDT org in Bangalore. Do a due diligence on which part of the kingdom is built in NA vs IN. Don't know about cross timezone syncs, someone from FDT needs to comment on that.

    Fuck sable.

    Dont know about multichannel.

      Thanks a lot for the comment; overall, do you feel it’s a good kingdom or a shitshow kingdom? 😀

      Can't comment on that. I was their customer. A lot of retail are their customers, mostly not by choice.

      I would expect the usual high ops load coming from the managing the infra that backs a shit ton of retail tech.

      Maybe an okay learning opportunity to for someone who is completely new to distributed systems.
