That's great, how did you get into this? I am a college second year so just wanted to know a little

[@paraaki]

Hey there! 😊 Not sure what you meant by 'this,' but if you’re talking about computer stuff, I got started by building my own little website just for fun when I was about 12. That sparked my interest! I wanted to learn how everything works behind the scenes, from design to functionality. But if you meant how I got a job at Amazon, I got contacted by a recruiter on LinkedIn. What are you studying?

@@paraaki I am studying econ and data science, nothing special :)

How do you feel about being BTO 5 days p/week? I used to work at Amazon in London just after they went to 3 days p/week.

[@paraaki]

Hi! Honestly, I'm okay with returning to the office 5 days a week-it hasn’t really affected me much. I actually enjoy working with people in person, as it helps me feel connected to my team. However, I also think it’s nice to have some flexibility to work from home sometimes too.

Do employees get free parking?

[@paraaki]

@no120992 - Hi! For employees in the Seattle area, we don't get free parking but we can request for reserved parking with a small monthly fee. It's typically a long waiting list and the assigned parking may not always be in the same building where we work. I don’t drive to work often, but if I do, I can get parking reimbursement, which covers parking expenses up to $160 per month. To me, that’s like a ‘free parking option.’ Personally, I prefer taking public transit and don't have to deal with parking situation. The company provides us free ORCA cards with unlimited access to buses, light rail, and (walk on) ferry for work and personal use.
