As an engineer at Amazon, what will your life be like?

Saurabh Khanduja, Amazon developer.

I work for a year at Amazon. The reason I moved is because API programming, software design / e-commerce is not my forte. However, joining Amazon has always been one of the smartest decisions in life.

Perfection

In my experience, Amazon is a place that emphasizes perfection. Do you know the 14 Amazon leadership principles? Remember those principles. If you think you are being asked to build something imperfect and should not do, consider the benefits and shortcomings of the project with these principles. If you still think it is a mistake, present your thoughts to your supervisor or project manager. I did and succeeded.

Balance life - work

My manager is very considerate, because she knows that I have no expertise in java / ubfox and does not pressure me. But after the first 2-4 months, if I only need to work more than 8 hours a day, I will be able to finish everything by the deadline. My manager did not bother to ask why I had to get permission to work from home or why I was on leave. She just asked me if I was okay when I went back to work after I was sick.

Start-up culture

Join a startup and you will know its benefits. When I was working here, I thought it would be great to experience Mac. I emailed the IT department and immediately replaced my Windows machine with a Macbook Pro, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD.

When I work at Amazon, I always come to the office before 6:30 am.

At the time, there were not many vehicles and you could cross the bridge from Bellevue to Seattle. At the moment, most other Amazon employees are still sleeping.

The parking fee in Amazon is $ 25 per day, as a reminder of the proud savings in Amazon. My card helped me get into almost every building here, as if I had a ticket to go to every amusement park. And at 6:30 am, I want to play whatever I want.

Browse a forest of movie posters from Amazon Prime Video. Look at the chart on the whiteboard of a working group on the allocation database. Read the confusing rules posted on the customer support team wall. Every building in the Amazon seems to be a rich university campus.

The buildings are very beautiful. However, there is no free food like at Google, because e-commerce doesn't encourage it (unless you're a talented engineer working on a secret project and will most likely leave the company) .

Amazon offices have beautiful elevators that lead up to the top floors of skyscrapers. In addition, reading chairs in buildings are equally beautiful.

I read Netflixed, hatched Twitter and founders at work. I read books about chakras, how to compose music. I reread the Everything Store, then read the contents of interviews from Hedge Fund Market Witch. Thinking about the books as I walked through the buildings of Amazon, I felt like I was moving in the mind of Jeff Bezos.

When I left Amazon, the reason was not frustration or dissatisfaction but because there was nothing to learn. In Amazon, one can learn how to build Amazon. Amazon is not created from the master plan, but by gradually expanding, spreading to the next.
