Tech survey results, ops load via CTI tickets, CR/LOC stats, accolades, COEs, promotion rate, turnover/attrition....

There are so many data sources that are all queryable via API. There are a couple basic greasemonkey scripts already floating around but as an SDE it really isn't that hard to write something yourself... It does take a bit of experience to get a good heuristic on weighting the different data points but you can do way better than blindly guessing.

I will say as someone who HAS intelligently looked through this data for most teams at Amazon, there is an absolutely MASSIVE difference between the top 10% of teams and the median, and an even larger difference between than and the bottom 10%, which by all metrics appear to truly be hell on earth.

Tech survey results??


Amazon runs an annual survey with typically quite high participation rates, it is very detailed, and the results are often illuminating (and like many things at Amazon, widely accessible to all people).


Yeah, but you can't see stuff outside your group, I imagine? I mean, dis-aggregated, to drill down to team level.

OP was making it sound like you could get the results for a specific team you'd want to transfer to.


What OP was suggesting is exactly what you get. You can see results at the level of any manager and zoom out recursively.


Is there any way to get in touch with you and ask a few questions?
