Reviews(6)
+ Write a reviewWhat went well
A good name, chances to work at large scope and scale, and good engineers.
What could be improved
Teams are often asked to hit deadlines that aren't based on reality, and then the work gets thrown out.
What went well
Strong ownership, a lot of learning, talented people, and good pay.
What could be improved
On-call and the constant busyness, less vacation than elsewhere, a weak 401(k), and stack ranking.
What went well
Very good pay, flexible working hours, and the Leadership Principles are genuinely useful.
What could be improved
Career growth has stalled, and moving teams internally feels riskier with layoffs going on.
What went well
Real exposure to large P&Ls and VPs, with a lot of ownership.
What could be improved
The cadence never lets up: long hours, constant firefighting, frequent layoffs, and a culture that's wearing down.
What went well
Smart people and real ownership. Engineers who are proactive can grow quickly.
What could be improved
Five-day return to office, deadlines that feel made up, politics, late nights, and managers with outsized power over your career.
What went well
Good pay and total comp, and plenty of offices and resources.
What could be improved
Hours depend a lot on the team, there's no overtime for salaried staff, management is questionable, and morale is low after the layoffs.
Global e-commerce and cloud computing giant. Known for its relentless customer focus and leadership principles.
