Massive Scale / Massive Problems / Massive Disappointment - Engineer Amazon Robotics Employee Review

Pros

Scale, money, some of the tech is interesting, working at huge scales brings sometimes interesting problems. Willingness to spend like a drunken sailor on shiny new things.

Cons

Wasteful, people are treated as human robots. Meat for the meat grinder. Huge amount of turnover. Laid people off by email while they were traveling. They didn't even ground everyone for the day they laid off so many people. Very stressful environment for no reason other than people and management make it that way. Dogs eat dogs. Poor engineering practices generally speaking. Not infrequent to see people driven to breakdowns or weeping in the office. Churn and burn.

Pros

*Big brand on my resume which is always great *Plenty of competent engineers and the standard for engineering is also quiet high which made me work harder *Some of the people you meet are incredibly nice and happy to help you with anything

Cons

*Some sense of bureaucracy *Some management can feel strongly opinionated *Some management can lack involvement during the experience *Location is inconvenient; Living situation is not the nicest + expensive and commuting would result in a larger cost of living plus a larger time sacrifice ***This review reflects my experience and is not reflective of other interns in other teams ***I did have failures to meet deadlines and suffered largely due to this which in turn effected the rest of my internship and related performance
