Tips
Amazon’s Brisbane-based software engineering teams own the critical last hop in the outbound fulfilment of customer orders. The features you build have a direct impact on customers' lives. You will work with scientists and engineers to optimize fulfilment processes, reducing costs and improving quality. You will experiment with new ideas, turning the successful ones into full production systems whilst failing fast and learning from those that are not. We obsess over reducing the time and cost of fulfilling a customer's order.
We are a diverse workforce – our people bring many different experiences to our mission and many different types of leaders succeed here, but have a few things in common:
You will join a high-performing, learning-oriented, analytical team, motivated to over-achieve, have fun, and make history. You’ll help foster our culture of technical excellence and entrepreneurial customer obsession. It’s fair to say that no one day is the same – this position is perfect for someone who enjoys variety and problem-solving.
Candidates for this role must have:
Acknowledgement of country:

Amazon's mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, and inventions begin and end with the customer's top of mind.
The people and the culture by far. The work was meaningful and impactful, which made it interesting and enjoyable. The office, with snacks and drinks is also something I miss daily.
Usually interesting projects/work to be done; lots of smart and friendly people, so it's easier to learn from your surroundings.
Diverse culture, good compensation, ownership over projects.
Sense of ownership and people’s willingness to help.
The work (experience and salary) - Working with peers - Free snacks + Drinks, lots of nice places to eat nearby.
Very fast-paced and sometimes stressful. Sometimes difficult to fit into some social situations.
Mandatory on-call shifts where you may be paged outside of office hours to help fix an issue (does not apply to interns or new joiners immediately).
Mandatory 5 days in office.
Amazon is great. It's hard to come up with many negatives. I think the RTO mandate can be seen as a negative. I also wish they had ongoing opportunities (e.g. part-time work) for students.
Soft cap for promotion. Can't really stay here once you get to senior if you want to keep progressing
