Day of Amazon Software Developer 

Daily office challenges: deciding where to go for lunch.

Hey guys look, its actually a "day in the life of a software developer" that is actually realistic, they actually work, they joke around (while they are working), they take a break for lunch, and they work some more which is supprising to me considering all these interns keep uploading videos on how their day consists of 19 breaks to lay down, play games, coffee, and what not

I love this, more realistic compare to some crazy things I see on youtube.

congrats for being the "Employee of the Year" 2:00

Whats Messi doing in Amazon

1. Drink Coffee 2. Checks email 3. Code review 4. Coding 5. Meeting 6. Decide where to eat lunch 7. Hours are flexible Seems like any other software dev job. Would be interested to know more details and comparisons with other work experiences.

You're so chill! Really enjoyed the video :)

Hello, I am a high school student in NYC who got hired as a software developer (aprentership) and I’m so happy to see how cool your day is.

Very cool videos, hope amazon don't mind you making them

Just discovered your channel, very impressive. You have increased your subscriber count by 1! :)

So many people in your office! So cool :) I don't think my day is too dissimilar. I spend mornings checking emails, catching up on stuff, etc. There are meetings and coding interspersed.

Great video! Love the edits :)

This "day in the life" actually shows you doing work. I appreciate that. Hahaha.

Am I the only weirdo who watches these vids while working from home, so it feels like I'm back in the office?

Loved it Smok , I also work for amazon , but was not sure Amazon doesn’t mind filming inside the office .. great video .. it was fun to watch . 😊

Gratulacje! Daleko skoczyłeś, Envy it! Powodzenia dalej.

Woah cool. At least a video about a day in the life of a software engineer that is realistic. Thanks Sir.

Those offices are cool. I would love a standing desk!

Great video, love ur content

one of the best " day of software developer" videos

The work environment seems pretty chill. I recommend using hub for that laptop and adding an external keyboard, mouse etc. I wouldn't stand working on internal keyboard. I envy you this adjustable desk, that's what's missing at my workplace. Cheers

I always look at my calendar first before checking emails because you could have a meeting in the calendar which is like 30 minutes after you get to work. And you could miss the meeting if you’re busy reading emails and miss the meeting alert.

That's a really cool office. Not really fancy but looks like it was built for productivity. Makes me want a large office vs working from home a I have been for the past year.

nice! my day is very same as yours , but i start work more late and go home late also)

Wow thanks. I'm starting at AWS soon as well.

My code reviewer is really thorough too, keeps me on my toes.

By far the best one yet. A least it's not fabricated to look like something else

good video! even i work at Amazon BLR14 (India) for PSAS. Proud to be an Amazonian.

Great video, great job and great lifestyle coding.

Nice work!

very nice! thanks

6:07 Japanese character T shirts It’s called GINTAMA.

I noticed through the blurs all the different sized monitors, is there not a single monitor everyone has to use? Or do you get to pick and choose for your own desk? Looks like a nice day at work though

employee of the year spotted ,grt dude

employee of the year lol :-), was this a after-effects compositing :-)

Hey that’s really cool! I actually work for amazon in our Dublin offices (Shannon). It’s awesome how similar the offices and work environments are :)

I loved your office.

That's my day for the last 35 years. Imagine that. I'm tired. What a grind.

How do you like the open layout style? I'm a front end developer and our office is the traditional cubicle style.

I didn't know all Amazon offices across the world had the same desks,chairs, meeting rooms and monitors ^_^ Very accurate video.. Greetings from an ex Amazon dev :p

nice to see the old faces. keep up the good work! greetings from a happy ex-user:p

If we don't have much work to do we go ask others for lunch, so typical

Thanks for the video, keep making more!

Perfect depiction of SOftware Developer

Thanks for sharing the experience! that was a great day

A gr8 place to work in Amazon. Good package, bonus, stock option. What else you need

Congratulations for doing job over there

A relax day in amazon xD

i am watching this video with 144p quality because some reasons. I wanna ask what programming language are you working on ?

I went to high school with Nica. Say hi to him from me.

this is one of very few realistic videos. I going to make one myself when I start

Awesome 😎

Gintaman T-shirt !!! I want one of these toooooo

Impressive 👌I like

In which programming language do you code mostly in?

Cheers from SYD!

interesting to see how they do it at Amazon. I work in a small webdev company and we do it very similar. My day looks like this: 9:00 start work by checking emails, chats, see if something very important happend 9:30 do the job, if something important came up, do this first, if not, continue the job from day before. 10:00 /at monday: meeting for planning the week 11:45 daily meeting (except mondays) telling everyone what I am doing 12:00 - 13:00 lunch break 13:00 - coding.. 14:00 (one a week) retrospective meeting 15:00 - 18:00 coding What I hate about my job are all the meetings and forced break.. I am not hungry at 12:00 and I don't need 1h break... my brain shuts down at 14:00 - 16:00 and I am not really able to concentrate/code.. this is the time I would love to take a break. 30 minutes.. Not 1h at 12:00.. where I am still highly functional. 15 minutes nap at 15:00 works wonders for me, better than caffeine

Jakiej kamery używasz? Zewnętrzny mikrofon?

Lovely Russian English accent) Thanks for sharing your experience!

Finally an honest one!

Great efforts Morning is beau

Nice Video !! Which language you people mostly use at Amazon (70%)? which Smart watch you have wear in Video? are you from London? are you on Insta?

A true day after watching many videos

I walk past that building all the time and I didn't realise a amazon office was there

HOW BIG ARE THOSE MONITORS??? I need two of them in my bedroom. for coding of course.

He’s even whispering like people are sleeping next to him haha

My Workday almost the same but we have the static time of work from 10.30am till 6.30pm. But when the release is coming, our work hour can be from 10.30am till 10pm... Ukrainian Outsourcing...

Keep up the good work, Smok! How does one become an employee of the year at Amazon?

@Smok - What is your primary programming language you use daily?

hey, what are those at 7:40 they look like some biker gloves!

what is that brick on your desk that looks like a poe injector?

Your job looks very relaxed. And here i am with a bachelors degree in information systems, struggling to be hired as an entry level IT, underqualified because no job experience related to IT. As I work at an Amazon warehouse FC in New York as a tier 1 outbound packer surviving 12 hour shifts. hoping someday i can be in your position doing IT or even front end Web developing in a relaxed and casual work environment. I feel as if my degree has gone to waste because of this pandemic i cannot find opportunity in the IT industry. HR is corrupted.

5:36 customers are also included in stakeholders. Correct me if I am wrong.

Corpo heaven :)

I'm coming for interview there. In London at Amazon. Yay

What do you use to edit your videos?

I have the same type of job but the infrastructure in my office is worst...I have a pc with only 4gb ram ,but as we work on remote server the whole day which again has only 4 gb ram and due to more traffic..it will behave like 1gb ram..whether anything can be made for bettering this

Applied amazon once, didnt even made it at the first step huhuhu

am starting my tech degree of computer science and engineering.And I hope, I will get a good job in a good company..and thank you for giving an indirect experience....

I love Developer my favourite Developer track is Developer, the horn

Coffee cup placement giving me anxiety

The Best ✨ • Matosinhos - Porto Portugal ✨

@Smok which monitors are you guys running? I need a new work monitor and don't know what to go with.... Something to pair with a 2015 MacBook Pro.

How do you still not get dry eyes?

Also, make a video on Amazon Development Center, London. :p

What have you done your majors in and from which university?

really great, informative video, i really want to know, what you exactly guys you do, are you developing the amazon website ? or working on new features or new products what you exactly do, im really so curious about this

I've just joined aws, any tips on what coding languages to learn for a beginner

How old are you? I mean, i'm 18 and wondering when i'll start working at a big tech company (i hope so lol) after i graduate in CS

Employee of the year. You rock, man! How could you work on laptop screen? Isn't it very inefficient?

Starting and closing the day with same cup and amount of the same drink.

Coffee starts our engine every day

Seems quite an interesting video! I had applied to Amazon London for internship, would love to work with your team 😊

could you offer some more specific information about your work , like what language are using , what's your department ?

I have watched countless day in the life videos on here, Twitter, Facebook, Google all employee's get spoilt with food smoothies gym's, Work for Amazon and get a Cheap cup of coffee. LMFAO

very interesting

I can't comprehend why 311 people took the effort to downvote this video. It's exactly the kind of content I expected when I clicked this link - Cool video dude!

Coś tak czułem, że Polak :D Czuć po akcencie.

Hello! What is desktop setup? You use 1 MacBook and 2 external displays?

amazon does not run company PCs but can you use yours?
