Amazon Software Development Engineer II reviews

RTO doesnt align with my long term vision (not living in seattle). Lack of explosive growth after 2 years

Pager duty sucks and, depending on what team you're on, might cause you to lose sleep. It's tough to get promoted, and without a promotion, raises don't always keep up with inflation. The planning process, which determines how much head-count a team will get and what they'll be working on for the next year, feels like shouting into a hurricane, but with documents. While the data-driven thing applies to most people at the company, the CEO and "S-team" (C-suite) seem comfortable backing up their decisions with mushy opinion statements. When a lot of employees voice their opinion that a policy makes them unhappy, upper management responds with a shrug, and lower management is sympathetic but powerless. Like most (all?) corporations, they don't care about you.
