Amazon Software Development Engineering reviews

This is a place that has no respect for it's employees or any life they may have outside of work. Within 2 weeks of starting, I was informed by my manager that I the other members of the team all worked nights and weekends, and that the same was expected of me. Things went downhill from there, until I was working 80-90 hours each week and burnt out on anything else. Amazon fires a good percentage of its workforce each year, and only gives raises to the top 20%, which produces a culture of extreme fear and competition, with team members sabotaging each other, and plenty of inter- and intra-team politics.

Brown out, Burn out On call schedule is taxing, high operational load Less work and more bragging gives you good raise Hardly a place for introvert/reserved geeks no matter what they do or can deliver
