- Pooya Amini worked as an engineer at Amazon in their Vancouver office for 7 1/2 years.
- He loved that Amazon pushed engineers to work at high standards and take leadership on projects.
- But, Amini was often frustrated by on-call shifts and promotions. Here's his honest review.
When I joined Amazon Vancouver in July 2014, the office was small, with less than 200 employees.
When I decided to leave, Amazon Vancouver had offices in multiple buildings incorporating thousands of employees. Both Amazon and I experienced growth simultaneously. I left Amazon in 2022 for a new opportunity at Meta.
