Business Outlook
Pros
- Work is really good and challenging. Projects involving distributed systems, AWS, machine learning, ad technology, graphics (visual search team) - Work with Amazon infrastructure and internal tools - Coworkers are very knowledgeable and professional - Great location, right beside Caltrain in Palo Alto, so you can live anywhere in Bay Area and commute - Decent office space, its not open office like most tech companies, which I preferred - Good compensation, better than amazon
Cons
- Not enough perks compared to other tech companies - Office space is too crammed, only 2 buildings near each other in Palo Alto, sharing one office room with 3-4 people - Frugality of Amazon (less frugal though, you get cereal pop etc)
