      Don't work here. Most difficult year of my life. During this time I had to go on a 1/2 dozen medications just to cope.

      Pros

      Forward thinking mentality. Customer centric. Smart colleagues. Good learning experience for how to be frugal, work harder than you ever have and get no feedback or praise in return.

      Cons

      The intensity would be too much for anyone to deal with. It is very normal for senior-management to yell at each other in large groups and employees. Managers get right in your face. I've always been on the top tier of employee reviews which doesn't matter. Everyone at Amazon is anxiously waiting to get out. So many statements and commitments were broken from the time I interviewed to the time I got the job. My boss changed his tune about almost every issue.

      Pros

      New exciting technology, problems and challenges. Lots of smart people. Now focused on improving developer experience and making improvements to development ecosystem.

      Cons

      Frugality taken to Cheapness and not investing in right things internally. High turnover rate until recession hit. Pretending to be a start up but really a corporation with increasing bureaucracy and HR ridden rather than the feeling of a company where people know each other. Not focused on individual development and growing people to next level. Have a lot of mini-cultures so a diverse culture in different department and organization which is good if you are under a progressive management hierarchy or hell if you are in the wrong organization. Do not recommend Operations organization to software developers very hectic and heavy on supporting old legacy hacked low quality software.
