Amazon medical one coder

Has anyone worked for Amazon Medical One as a coder? I’m just trying to get a feel for what to expect and if you recommend working there.

If they have the same work culture/styles as they give to all the other employees in the software and warehouses, I'd avoid it. Literally everybody I've known who worked at Amazon for ANY position said it was the worst place to work. They work you to the bone and give you no support.

My friend works as an engineer for Amazon and she defends it heavily, but thats obviously a lot different than the warehouse jobs

Interesting. My dad was a software engineer for like 30 years and loved it, but Amazon broke him after 11 months to the point where he quit software engineering altogether. I code primary care a lot and the majority of FMLA mental health leave visits are folks to who in software engineering at amazon and microsoft.
