Interesting problems offset by a toxic culture - Software Engineer Amazon Employee Review

Strong engineering culture with emphasis on ownership and scalability Opportunity to work on large-scale distributed systems Good compensation and benefits compared to industry average Exposure to modern cloud technologies and internal tools

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on team On-call responsibilities can be demanding High expectations and performance pressure Internal processes can sometimes be complex

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
