Business Outlook
Pros
Learn about scaling and customer obsession. good work environment for junior engineers, there is a lot to learn within Amazon. Open culture for engineers to learn and exchange. The best place to be to understand retail, and yet has some very interesting teams
Cons
Long hours, little fun. Too frugal. Engineers operate in silos. You barely know the people in the next office. If you are in a service that requires to inter-operate with other teams, you have a tough time. Its very hard to get roadmaps aligned and it requires frequent iteration. The usual answer you can expect is "we dont have this on the roadmap for this year"
