Amazon Software Developer reviews

There is an oncall rotation that all sdes share. It has pluses and minuses. You learn to build more robust systems, but at the expense of getting woken up in the middle of the night.

only cares about customers, employees are treated like dispensable commodities unfair promotion practice, political; management will invent reasons to not give raise or promotion zero work life balance hard nosed behavior is encouraged in the name of leadership principle pager on-call duties can be really painful sometimes zero respect for engineers, no training, poor documentation, sink or swim environment extreme frugality. you will not find anything that has " calorie" in it if you are hungry. only coffee or tea, the coffee maker runs out of coffee sometimes and they don't bother refilling until next day
