With some discussion going on about jobs and culture in amazon, I received an email from Amazon about an opening in my city. Amongst a long list of JD, following was added at the end, which pretty much sums up the general perception which people are having lately about the culture there

"24/7/365 availability, including willingness to work on weekends, and outside of the "standard" work day"

If a company openly asks 24/7/365 availability upfront, that too on a mail from their own HR department (mail was from xxx@amazon.com), I think that's enough said.

The requirement was in customer service. Not in IT, software, database, etc

That text is typical of any ops role in a large cloud service.

People don't stop buying stuff online or using EC2 / AWS cloud instances just because it is a holiday for you, and the service keeps running.

If getting woken up at 3 AM for a server crash isn't something you care to experience I would not suggest an ops role at a cloud provider.

i find this strange for such large companies. A client asked one of our employees this week if he is willing to be available 24/7 and weekends. I asked the customer is this going to be the only one guy working on your apps? For a global company I think they should plan the appropriate shift teams and in the right geography so they have 24/7 coverage without the need for a team member worrying in a movie or a dinner if he is gonna get a call...

[hserus]

Shifts exist of course and the oncall rota ensures that at least one senior team member is available to guide junior staff who are typically tasked to routine shift roles, provide approvals for any task that requires it.

In rare cases (more than X systems in a cluster fail or there are multiple failures across a system and DR failover may be required etc) there will be a swat call in which case everybody gets paged out.

People have been using electricity, phones and manufacturing plants 24x7 as well. But these industries have well established processes with people in shifts. One person required to not have a life outside the company is not something that should be encouraged, in IT or anywhere else.

Saw your reply after posting this. But this is something that should be streamlined with teams in different time zones, otherwise it does nothing but cause burnouts.

While I agree about work life balance -

Escalations are very much streamlined and process driven in such organizations - with staff in multiple countries and on shifts. This is for emergencies where a pager call is sent out - meaning you can live your life, but be fairly close to a laptop and a phone in case that sort of emergency occurs where your specific help (eg: as the person who wrote the code that is malfunctioning, or one of the resident db experts for escalation of a serious problem) is required.

Apparently (and this is from my team-mate who used to work in NTT Data) the work culture is very good. However, which office of NTT Data are you joining? My colleague used to work in the South End office in Bangalore.
