Conflicting goals, more "stick" than "carrot"

Software development engineer iii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast growing company Opportunity for advancement (for certain personalities) Excellent compensation Interesting technology Good business (not technical) management

Cons

Unrealistic deadlines lead to sloppy development practices. This leads to higher than necessary operational burden. Conflicting goals - why didn't you get this done on time? Because I was up all night fixing an operational problem. "You need to work harder" - I was up for over 20 hours straight, I need sleep. "You will be terminated if you don't step it up" - Huh? A 20 hour day isn't enough. No respect for simple human factors. If you need to sleep, don't work here.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some very challenging problems and smart people at Amazon. If you find a group with strong management and smart peers, you can learn a lot and work on satisfying problem sets.

Cons

Some groups do not have great accountability; the company can be very cheap about things like hiring QA or support engineers.
