Amazon Employee Reviews for Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

What do you like about working at Amazon?

"I like the good pay and talented co-workers. The relocation package was quite generous."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"The interview process is quite rigorous. Make sure that you're comfortable coding in your language of choice, and that you're up to snuff on algorithms and problem analysis. However, given what it's like to work there, I don't recommend going through the effort unless you're looking for a resume pad."

"My dislikes are: too much legacy maintenance, very little new development, high support burden, and developers carry pagers. The benefits are on the low end, and the company doesn't value work/life balance."

"Treat the developers like people."
