Business Outlook
Pros
Great location near Palo Alto Caltrain station makes it easy to commute to Located right next to best part of University Ave = great restaurants, cafes, shops You get to work on search and ads for Amazon, important part of the business Ability to work from home a fair bit, at least in my case and some of my team members, which is great if you have kids or live far away Good, stable place to work
Cons
With the Bay Area economy heating up, it's been hard to recruit talent Not the same buzz, excitement and scale as Amazon in Seattle At the time I was there, we were following waterfall planning (at least on my team) which is a little outdated for a web product
