companies should publish the average tenure of employees when they quit. amazon is growing fast so that number is pretty misleading

Gazpacho posted:To the extent that they "don't do those things anymore" I expect its because newer teams are run somewhat competently, whereas the oldest groups, with non user facing code that originally ran on hpux, have been condemned to an eternal sysiphean nightmare well, fc systems was the page-you-very-two-hours constant rewrite joke when i was looking to join in '05 and a few years afterwards. now it's been turned around. i hear good things about aws and the kessel project too. kindle is legacy now and digital a little messed up. retail probably sucks too. so, hit or miss really what the article and all the discussion don't mention is it all comes down to your manager. if they suck you will be miserable because they won't - fend off incoming poo poo from other teams - maintain focus for your team to minimize priority and feature churn - listen to you when you say you need to pay off tech debt or adjust dates or whatever and most importantly - rep you well during review time having a pushover manager means you'll never get good reviews. if they don't put in a good promo doc for you, likewise you will never be promoted. finding a good manager is the number one success differentiator at amazon and it's basically out of your hands lol. afaik there's basically no training for managers to improve either. some dev wants to climb the pole and switches roles and then good luck.
