      Bias For Action is Not Always a Plus

      Pros

      No monoculture or bureaucracy - within your team you have a lot of control over what tools you use. The quality of SDEs is pretty high. No "architects" or "research teams" sucking up all the resources.

      Cons

      There is never the resources given to build things properly. Rather there is continuous pressure to build things as soon as possible and just apply band aids rather than addressing underlying issues. The internal tools are pretty poor and you can easy waste as much time fussing with getting them working right as you do actually building things.

      Great place to work

      Senior user experience designer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Get to work on great projects; excellent networking opportunities within the company; quality coworkers; smart and savy senior management team; lots of opportunity for lateral movement within the company

      Cons

      Every workplace has something to complain about and Amazon is no exception. Any given day you could conceivably complain about being micromanaged, having to work with a thick headed coworker, feeling unappreciated, etc. However, the good typically far outweighs the bad.

      Pros

      It's not for everyone, but that's good. The weak ones don't move up, so if you are smart & strategic about managing your career here, you can learn a lot, work quite autonomously, and make good money.

      Cons

      Your experience will vary greatly depending on which manager you have an which org you report into. There are definitely certain VPs, directors, and middle managers to avoid - - ask around so you don't end up on their team. Otherwise, there are great mentors and managers here who can help you succeed.
