A Day In The Life Of An Amazon Software Engineer (Seattle Edition)

A day of my life (post pandemic, kinda, most people are still WTH) working from Amazon Seattle HQ. You'll get a campus and Spheres tour, plus you'll get to meet my cute golden retriever Nala :) Thank you so much for your support!

[@Sn1per9CZE]

What about this strikes you as a good work-life balance? He barely gets to do anything but work...

[@Nathan-en9dn]

@@Sn1per9CZE He got to do quite a bit during the day.... I don't advocate for this because these companies take away all independence. When you want to leave, it is really hard because these companies took control of every facet of your life from food to what gym you go to. It very nice to start just very draining when leaving to a different company. It's feels like you just cut off your arm when you leave, but you know you have to leave because you already burnout, and already lost a leg.

[@supercoolmunkee]

@@Forrest10 Lol, I've tried working as an Amazon Warehouse Associate turned out to be an overnight stocker to assist with preparation for customer's package when they go out for delivery. It sucks and I quit after the first three days of working there. The first night was mostly training which I went over the exact same thing over the online course training just to be repeated and never got any real work done until the second and third night. And it was brutal just to be able to keep up with performance expectation which I ain't got time for. Working for Amazon Associate is a completely different story then being a developer or software programmer for Amazon.

It can’t be “mission critical” stuff because I worked at the bank that processes all transactions and credit approvals… on 10/20 year old mainframe COBOL applications that the hundreds thousands of posting overnight and applications for credit in sub-seconds… else there would be FEDERAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES COSTING THE BANK MILLIONS OF DOLLAR$$$! And we sure don’t have time for gym work outs or late nights in clubs… we ran a 24x7 shop (with Offshore) and ran all weekend code installations! Amazon was 40% of our business!

Seeing this as someone who's basically coding from 7am til 4pm honestly just makes me wonder when the work actually gets done and how much gets done., en yet I'm envious of the amount of time you had in this day to just mess around and exist. I work from home and sometimes I honestly feel like the pressure to do shit all the time is constant.

Because you’re correct, the work doesn’t get done. ……. by him anyway. Some poor conscientious dude will be working 80 hour weeks picking up the slack. This douche will just be managing the relationship with his manager so he doesn’t get found out.

[@mizukame]

Been some time since you uploaded this, but I'm amazed your workday is this chill, makes me wonder if all big IT-oriented companies treat their developers this well. You work 2 less hours than my bro who's also a software developer if we take into account the in-between gym and relaxing hour, and very likely have WAY more perks from Amazon. Of course, we live in Mexico, so yeah... I won't comment from the sysadmin point of view though, I know our work is vastly different, even if it sounds like the same thing to society. Happy for ya to see you doing good!

[@MarcinScholke]

terrible

[@itsMuuzik]

Great video! Loved it from start to end (especially Nala)

[@TomClaessens]

Interesting to see how nicely your day is broken up by different activities. In Belgium for instance, most engineers work ~9/5 or some variant of it. Average working hours is 8/day, or more. However, days are more monotonous. Start at 8AM->12:30PM | lunch | 1PM->4/5PM | -> done. Since I start early, I can leave work usually at 4PM which gives me the feeling I have a lot of time left of my day to spend on personal things but often these don't happen as planned or intended. On the other hand, your day ends "late" (to my standards) where I'd feel I have no personal time left, however, you managed to incorporate that personal time (like the gym or walking the dog) during the day/working hours. So almost seems like a win-win, except for family time.

[@darko_mikic]

Exactly, this is ok if you are single, and to have longer working day, included personal activities. But, if you have a family, this is waste of time. Job is job, and private life ( family life ) has to be separate. In reality, 8h of working day, average is 6h of productive hours.

[@albertobalmeida]

Here in Brazil is the same thing, 8h/day. I work from 8:30~12:00 | lunch | 13:30~18:00. It's not glamorous as the video, it's just work 8h a day.

[@fitforlife3168]

@@albertobalmeida He likely embellished a lot in this video. Amazon is a top company with demanding schedules of its HQ employees. I find it very hard to believe their engineers are not working at least 8 hours a day if not more.

Amazon has a lot of negative reviews from the past. But they definitely have fixed a lot of things. I am 3 months in working at a FC and I love it. Everything they have to offer and treating their employees along with ensuring leadership and recognition are strong really makes the workplace feel amazing! Overall the company is amazing any they provide amazing stuff. Their thought process on making work as simple as possible is what makes the workplace 10x better. Long hours but a nice spread in breaks makes the day go by easier. Your video is a great example. 😀

After watching similar Life-as-Blog from Twitter and Google I gotta say I can imagine why these overpriced employees have been laid off in droves! He’s job could just as easily been a barista! What the hell is he coding!?! Does he use the Java Spring Boot framework? Is there a deadline?? What about late nights and weekends??? It can’t be “mission critical” stuff because I worked at the bank that processes all transactions and credit approvals… on 10/20 year old mainframe COBOL applications that the hundreds thousands of posting overnight and applications for credit in sub-seconds… else there would be FEDERAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES COSTING THE BANK MILLIONS OF DOLLAR$$$! And we sure don’t have time for gym work outs or late nights in clubs… we ran a 24x7 shop (with Offshore) and ran all weekend code installations! Amazon was 40% of our business! And anyone showing this kind of work environment… would be FIRED! 😅

Como vão as coisas hoje?

[@johnspeaks55]

Já se preparada para se mudar, porque aqui no Brasil é codar das 8 as 18 e ainda sim não dar conta do que tem para fazer

[@viniciusl.7759]

@@johnspeaks55 exatamente! sinto que no BR nós somos muito mais cobrados do que os gringos e por isso temos fama de bons trabalhadores lá fora.

[@johnspeaks55]

@@viniciusl.7759 Exatamente isso. Pena que aqui não somos tratados como bons trabalhadores, monetariamente falando

[@TheDanishBully]

Woaw.. That workstyle would never have worked here in denmark. But it was fascinating to see. I love your dog btw xD

Hi Yang! I'm from Vietnam. Nice to meet you. I feel comfortable when I see this video. This life is so dreamy of many people. My job in Vietnam is quite boring. I spend 8 hours per day for work (8-17h in my office)

[@grindTIME1985]

working those long hours, i hope your dog gets plenty of time and support from its owner. great video

[@timetraveler525]

Looks like a productive day! What was that " Express yourself" station? What do you do there?

[@alberthbyang]

it was!! haha it's an 'artistic' desk where there's a record player I just sat there to listen to some music and check messages :)

[@utkarshagrawal6060]

Wow! I love this

[@jonathannikpour4423]

Great video. I watched it many times probably because of sweet Nala. :)

[@jiwonchoi7339]

I'm an incoming Seattle intern this summer!:)) Very excited about it. I wanted to know if we should go to office every day to work, or it's just optional/you work wherever you want. Also, do you expect the meetings will continue to be virtual?

[@alberthbyang]

Hey congratulations! That varies from team to team, so you'd need to see how your team does that :) My team currently does not require going to the office but lots of my teammates already go regularly. and there's still few months till summer so things could change

[@learningandplaying262]

what a dream environment for those who works in the office!

[@sovikguhabiswas8838]

Makes me wonder same is for those who are working offshore. Btw!This life what you have is a blessing brother. 👍

After watching a bunch of these 'day in the life' videos, I swear the world's entire IT infrastructure is run by Indian and Eastern European outsourced programmers lol.

[@alberthbyang]

😂😂😂 maybe

[@zactocher6335]

damn man, I want to work and live in Seattle so bad. I switched my major to CS because of that dream. I'm going to make it one day. Seeing your content is sick!

Learning spanish? Nice!!! When I was a child I wanted to be a systems engineer or a programmer, because my dad is, but in my country until recently it began to be very important. how cool your video

[@jimgolias9745]

I feel bad for the dog though, did she stays alone all day?

[@chriss729]

Yeah the dog spends way too much time alone doing nothing. Not suitable lifestyle to have a dog in my opinion.

[@Sanyu-Tumusiime]

I'm applying. Got rejected many times but I hope I can make it in this time.

[@alberthbyang]

best of luck!!
