Not as much opportunity for SDETs

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Exciting projects that have high visibility and use * Customer-centric focus * Lots of good software engineer tools and frameworks in place

Cons

* Not a whole lot of opportunity for SDET or test career. Sure, there are pockets of them, but I wouldn't count on Amazon as a long term place for a test career. Not uncommon to see the senior test folks eventually leave due to lack of promotion process for them. * Heavy emphasis on on-call activities with less emphasis on building quality in from the beginning. * Fairly young engineering management

Business Outlook

Pros

Employees are encouraged to demonstrate leadership skills at any job level. Encourages knowledge sharing, changing of job roles and internal transfers. Amazon maintains internal wiki, which contains lots of information, it is useful during initial learning curve for new employees

Cons

Amazon is fast paced, so documentation is not thorough for some components. Lots of knowledge would come from experience using different tools or discussing with senior peers.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many things to work on in Amazon - there are few problems that are well solved and do not require further innovation. This can be a huge benefit when you come in to Amazon, there will definitely be something to which you can apply yourself.

Cons

A negative is that often you are dealing with all of the daily work and don't have the chance to make framework improvements or large-scale changes to the software you are working on. Too often stuck with finer details and management may not make time for the larger changes.
