Amazon Senior Software Developer reviews

Dublin's rental costs are too high. Weather is also not the best. No gym in the office. No free food.

- Compensation heavily relies on the growth of stock. Base salary is much lower than the majority of other companies but the stock compensates for that. If you like your position and team, it's probably worth resting and vesting for the 4 years - They take frugality very seriously (being one of the LPs) and this gets a little frustrating at times - you know how well the company is doing and that the funds are there, but you have to justify hard for small work expenses you want compensated (anything under $50 rarely noticed but expenses over $100-150 taken more seriously). Especially during covid when you want to fit out your home office with basic needs (mouse, printer, shredder etc) - you have to buy a cheap mouse for e.g. because a good quality one one get approved. I mostly agree with being frugal, but certain things feel a little unnecessary
