My experience has been good, but it can vary a lot - Software Development Engineer II Amazon Employee Review

I was so excited when I got this job. I loved Amazon, the pay was the best I ever had at that point and my job was remote so it was a wonderful opportunity to be given. My supervisor was great and there were a lot of really nice, hard working, helpful people on my team. Training was paid and very thorough. I keep thinking we had an hour for lunch, which was great too.

I was there for a long time, but only had two experiences in which customers behaved horribly. One of which was a prank caller. I don't think it's the norm though, because everyone otherwise was very pleasant. Having two calls like that over the span of many months isn't much. I mention this because I know sometimes people get nervous about the idea of taking calls. I really enjoyed this job and if you like Amazon, enjoy helping people and working remotely, you probably will too.

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.
