Pros

Groudbreaking projects used by around the world. It feels like we are writing operating system for the next 100 years :-) One can achieve anything here as long as they have energy and interest. In my team work/life balance is very good. I don't feel pressure from management to do overtime, we did put more hours in order to release my current project on time.

Cons

Due to the active growth and interns we were in high-density seating during the summer. A new Amazon building will open nearby soon and some teams will move there freeing up space.
