Joined Amazon 3 months back. Joined a really shitty team, only one other developer that doesnt give a shit about the product, code reviews are really simple, 0 tests, no processes. Not even sprint planning or scoping. Talked to manager about it, says its a low point in our team and hoping to turn it around. Tbh, im really considering to leave, but Ive only been here for such a short amount of time.

    So if you know things can be improved why not take ownership (LP), and develop a process and plan to implement changes into your pipeline that helps yourself and the team? Present it to your manager and skip. Easy way to use this as a promo doc? No wonder junior roles have so much churn...

      ^ it doesnt matter @avanade. Dont take my "(LP)" so literally.

      The point is, you dont just jump ship because you think theres improvement to be had. Put in the work and try to make it better for yourself and the team. Now if they're not receptive to that, then thats a different topic and yes it may be time to change teams then. But without trying to make an effort to change or improve the team and its workflow/efficiency? No.

    Sounds like a leadership opportunity for you. Start cashing checks and breaking necks!

    Dude. People bail on amazon all the time after working any duration. You get an automatic β€œget out of jail free” card when leaving amazon no matter of you worked there three weeks or ten years. Your future employer understands why...
