      Best company I've ever worked for, by a mile

      Pros

      AWS Elemental is all about the right stuff: diversity, inclusion, community, giving back, developing its people, providing a great environment to work in, and so on. They treat us so well.

      Cons

      None for me. There is definitely a strong emphasis on working in the office, so if you like to work from home it's probably not the right place for you.

      Great Portland based Amazon subsidiary with startup feel

      Pros

      Great location, job perks, laid back working environment, very cool technology, great Amazon based benefits, decent comp package, focus on community and contribution, very nice secure bike storage room in basement

      Cons

      Very few downsides - Amazon style work environment of lining desks up next to each other in big open rooms can be a bit distracting sometimes.

      Great execution and possibilities at expense of balance

      Pros

      - Great leadership - Seemingly limitless possibilities - Tech-geek culture - committed and amped up colleagues - High energy - The Elemental perks were great, not sure if they're still as good with the AWS'ization of the company

      Cons

      - "Too" many possibilities with deep AWS pockets resulting in less common purpose and focus - Unforgiving core encoding market where customers treat it as commodity, which it is not, with lots of innovation still needed - Bit of group think where energy and excitement is expected - Too Portland-centric, not necessarily a bad thing if you're in (and like) Portland
