Overtimes and late work - Software Development Engineer II bei Amazon: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Hard dependency on Seattle office hours (9 hours difference) forces to stay late to get things done. People working on promotion tend to work 10-12 day, weekends. Because of the two years of plague most of the teams work remote, thus the quality of onboarding is dramatic. Base salary compensation is not competitive for what they ask. Late meetings (they tend to start in 17:00-19:00 range lasting easily till 21:00). Teams understaffed, 40-60% time dedicated to meetings and sync-ups where you get pushed to do more random stuff for US team, while your project is suffering.
