Pros

The culture is amazing. All your efforts are recognized somehow by colleagues or leaders.

Cons

The environment is demanding. Co-workers are typically great on their areas so there is pressure. Impostor syndrome all around.

Pros

- Discussions and decisions are anchored around LPs, takes ambiguity out in most cases. - Culture of writing down all aspects of an issue and then discussing it helps keep the focus - Internal support structure and trainings (My first big tech company, so this might not be unique to Amazon) - Truly customer obsessed. Not just a tag line. Every one is institutionalized on this one philosophy. - Highly supportive for internal mobility

Cons

- Too prescriptive in some ways (but it has worked well so far) - Internal tooling leaves a lot to be desired (I am looking at you Chime, Quip, SIM & wiki) - Heard about unreasonable performance management practices. Too soon to judge. - No SRE for most teams. Operational overhead can cut into the developers time where internal job posting tout low operational overhead as a big selling point. Seems like a simple (maybe expensive) problem to fix.
