Pros

Being in a subsidiary of Amazon working within the Amazon technology culture but part of distinct business with its identity is the best of both worlds. Great to have strong tech in Los Angeles.

Cons

Santa Monica location is nice but commute can be a challenge at times.

Pros

* Great people; every is talented, helpful, yet modest * Excellent managers - my managers listen to my needs & help me grow in the company while presenting me with fresh opportunities * You get the best of Amazon - even though IMDb is a subsidiary we use the same tech as other Amazon teams & have access to the same tools/training * Team culture - we work well together, have weekly happy hour and occasional movie/dinner nights * Work life balance - work from home days, flexibility of hours * Customer focused * Fun CEO

Cons

* Some legacy systems, though those are being actively migrated * The work on some teams/projects tend to be more frontend heavy * No free snacks...

Great for learning how a tech giant operates

Pros

Excellent place to learn how tech companies on the scale of Amazon operate. Technical learning is very rapid, with access to the enormous Amazon engineering community and their knowledge. Management insight is also part of daily life, leadership principles set across the company are used to assess performance, as the framework for personal development and as the benchmark for recruitment decisions and they're very useful. It's exciting to be exposed to Amazon-scale engineering challenges. IMDb itself retains some small-company feel within Amazon and is a desirable destination for horizontal moves from other parts of Amazon.

Cons

Work culture is heavily influenced by Amazon. This brings high pressure and a greater emphasis on individual contribution than on team accomplishments.
