"Like an Assembly Line": Amazon Engineers Feel Squeezed by AI-Driven Workflow

  • Amazon engineers experienced increased pressure in 2024 as managers pushed them to adopt AI tools amid shrinking team sizes and higher output goals.
  • This shift stems from widespread AI adoption in software development, where tools like Microsoft's Copilot raise productivity but also fuel concerns about job loss and work quality.
  • Amazon has seen coding deadlines tighten, team sizes cut in half, and AI assistants reduce time spent on routine tasks while increasing code output by over 25 percent.
  • CEO Andy Jassy stated AI saved 4,500 developer-years and delivers meaningful returns in productivity and cost avoidance, while Google reported over 30% of its code now comes from AI suggestions.
  • This AI-driven acceleration at Amazon resembles past factory automation, causing some engineers to feel like bystanders and raising concerns about career development and work becoming more routine.
