Pros

It is a good temporary job, but the staffing service they use leads alot to be desired. There were times to get in overtime.

Cons

High turnover for Human Resources, management and general employess. Why does Jeff Bezos treat people this badly?? Churn and burn.

Pros

The work is very interesting and challenging. My colleagues are very nice and helpful. The working location is also good.

Cons

You need to work very hard in the team. Sometimes you need to work during weekends. So, if you want an easy life, it is not a good choice.
