Pros

Stock options, free lunch, complimentary Audible subscription account

Cons

No work life balance. Too much on call duties, as there is no separate support team for handling production issues, development team is responsible for both development and maintenance/support and its mandatory for a developer to perform oncall duties. With oncall duties its hard to plan any vacation. This place is full of h1b visa holders, they work 60 hours/week and if you don't do the same, it will be reflected in your annual performance reviews. Its very hard to move internally to other amazon offices because of politics.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great vision. Feels good to be part of something meaningful, not an everyday 'x meets y' startup or a legacy company trying to appear innovative. With the Amazon stack, great people and a growing business, you'll have a difficult time finding a bigger challenge.

Cons

The lack of a presence/office in NYC is straining the recruiting effort in various teams. It's difficult to get great ideas to the customer.
