Pros
- Lots of opportunity to own your projects and deliver - Learn how to navigate and deal with politics :) - Great salary - Great name on the resume - Great cultural values that apply to anywhere you work after Amazon (except for the frugality part)
Kontras
- Turnover is very high, people usually stick around 6 months to a year. People leave every week. - Toxic frugal culture, too cheap to give you the proper tools for you to do your job (software licenses, equipment, etc) - Dog eat dog culture, political as it gets - Lack of collaboration, people are willing to throw each other under the bus to further themselves - Lack of trust from management, management micromanages and even if you have data to prove why things should be a certain way, they will tell you to do it their way because they override you - No one cares about making a quality product, it's always about just shipping things that just work and never revisiting to optimize or improve the product.
