Zero vision. Too much politics. - Software Development Manager Amazon Lab126 Employee Review

Pros

Good salary + 2-year sign-in bonus if you can get it

Cons

Lab126 is still growing uo as a company. It feels lost, with no strategic vision. It wants to compete against Apple, but the products are no comparison. The management is busy playing a blame game. Ownership is a Leadership principle, but only in name. Nobody wants to own anything. This results in too much politics.

Pros

The team is welcoming and supportive, with designers across visual, motion, and sound design (rare for Amazon) However, opportunities to collaborate across teams are relatively limited.

Cons

Decision-making can take time due to multiple stakeholder reviews. Balancing design quality with business constraints can be challenging. Job security has become less predictable in recent years.
