Amazon Software Development Engineer II (SDEII) reviews

Operational load, work life balance sucks, turnover rate is humongous

- culture : employees are often recommended to watch and follow "Games of Thrones". One can figure out the intention. - lack of leaders : there are great managers who can "just" meet deadlines, but not good leaders who are humble, experienced, who can inspire you. - poor team structure : you graduate from a top notch university, but your growth here is limited by the fact that your manager is just a couple of years more year experienced than you whose only intention is to meet deadlines and his "promotion" What can one expect to learn from someone who has probably much less "real life experience" than you. there is a concept of mentor over here. but it just for namesake. it doesn't work most of times. your manager should be your leader, your mentor. Not just another robot designed to meet deadlines.
