      Pros

      -Can work on exciting technologies, AWS, DynamoDB, EC2. -Be well trained to work on well-built infrastructure and cloud. Have deep understanding of distributed and Internet technologies.

      Cons

      -Worst pay compared with other public Internet companies. Little RSU in the first 3 years. Almost work for no bonus. -No free lunch, no snacks (though some cheap nuts, no one wants to touch), no gym, no team event (cut budget), no engineering offsite, only work, release, rollout then work, move fast -Worst middle level management, no vision, no technical skills, no understanding of Internet business, arrogant, doing nothing, except slave people to work. -Employee turn over rate is very short.

      Lot of politics and low productivity

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is OK when amazon stock is doing well Palo Alto is a good location Good Laptops and large monitors

      Cons

      Some people are overworked and enjoy the same pay and benefits as others. No appreciation or recognition for top class work. Misrepresentation of work. Lack of innovation Incompetency is promoted higher up and continue to fail and cover up the failures with politics Lacks productivity, could definitely do a lot better if people concentrated on work instead and learn something from Amazon Be careful of terms when accepting offer, they may change after start of employment

      Valuable experience, enjoyed my time

      Pros

      Starting from my on-site interview and even before I started working, I felt like I was joining a family. In comparison, I currently work for a mega-corp nearby, and I felt like a cog in the machine starting from the interview. I enjoyed the projects I worked on. They were important to Amazon's business and allowed me to gain extremely valuable experience, both in terms of the types of projects and the technology I got to use. Technology is perfectly adequate to get your work done. Most people opt for the 15" MBP, and do most of their development on the laptop. The developer desktops are fairly underpowered, but most people barely use them (it's easier to just use an instance in the cloud and not bother with that desktop sitting under the desk). They upgraded the snacks in the summer of 2015, and they're quite good now. You get a nice selection of dried fruits and healthier snacks (excluding the fresh fruits, which run out quickly, the other snacks don't run out which is nice).

      Cons

      If you are not happy with your initial RSU package, you will feel under-payed since the policies are designed to make it hard to increase your pay quickly. Ultimately, comp is a function of the profits/revenue per employee and there's a small handful of companies that can pay higher.
