In Amazon, I get to work on various techs like AWS, and mostly teams work on full stack projects. So, we get exposure on frontend and backend techs.

Dislikes

The work life balance is very bad, also there is constant pressure from management to complete the tasks, otherwise there is constant fear of losing the job.

Overall Company culture is good.

Dislikes

No work life balance, they expect you to give your complete day and even weekends for office work. Lot of people in higher management without proper process knowledge who are screwing others just to remain in the process, take their promotion and move on to a different team because they already messed up their previous team just for their own personal benefits.

"I admire Amazon's customer-centric approach and its commitment to innovation.I’m also impressed by Amazon's emphasis on ownership, which empowers employees to take initiative and drive meaningful impact. Additionally, the opportunity to work alongside talented, driven individuals in such a dynamic environment excites me, as it fosters both personal and professional growth."

Dislikes

"I’ve heard that Amazon is known for its fast-paced and high-pressure environment, which can be challenging for some. However, I see this as an opportunity to grow and push myself to meet high standards. My focus is on aligning with a culture that values innovation, efficiency, and results, which I believe Amazon embodies. If there are areas I might find tough, such as work-life balance, I’m confident I could manage them by staying organized and maintaining clear communication."...Read More
