Pros

- Work is really good and challenging. Projects involving distributed systems, AWS, machine learning, ad technology, graphics (visual search team) - Work with Amazon infrastructure and internal tools - Coworkers are very knowledgeable and professional - Great location, right beside Caltrain in Palo Alto, so you can live anywhere in Bay Area and commute - Decent office space, its not open office like most tech companies, which I preferred - Good compensation, better than amazon

Cons

- Not enough perks compared to other tech companies - Office space is too crammed, only 2 buildings near each other in Palo Alto, sharing one office room with 3-4 people - Frugality of Amazon (less frugal though, you get cereal pop etc)

Pros

- Better benefits compared to the parent - Amazon (esp medical coverage) - Better work environment in terms of coworkers and office space - Startup like quality and pace of work - Regular access to tech talks and meetups

Cons

- Getting recognized and appreciated for the extra effort is poor owing to parent Amazon's similarly lacking compensation mechanism - Absence of merit based appreciation - Some people are over worked while others are vacationing but at the end of the year, everyone makes the same salary based on your level
