Pros

Not much work load. Mostly it is seasonal. You'll be having too many parties (promo, farewell, team dinner/outings etc).

Cons

No laid back outlook like other tech companies. Very formal office buildings. Hard to find good challenging projects to help you grow.

Pros

Everything here needs high throughput; even a simple hello world service can crash if not tuned properly. Somethings are infeasible to be invested in normal company, but Amazon scale allows it to be real.

Cons

It’s hard to be agile here because of the promotion process. The company needs teamworks but on the other hand it needs silos. The leadership team already acknowledged this problem but it may take many years to fix, I don’t know if I will still be working here then.
