Understaffed for the product scale they're going for. Salary cap, enough said... Terrible HR Over worked, under paid after 2 years (when sign on bonus wears off). Don't count on equity. Equity amount is sad compared to other big companies (e.g Google, etc) Terrible 401k plan, make sure to read through it carefully! Super heavy cross org politics, tons of finger pointing Product development/TPMs ignore lower level engineers' concerns High stress environment all the time

# bad senior engineering talent - principal engineers who have not contributed a single line of product code but have power over engineers who are actually building products # culture dominated by TPMs # mediocre pay overall with women at the lower end # mandatory quota of employees to be labeled as low performers # active encouragement of boorish behavior by senior management # less growth opportunities compared to the rest of Amazon # leaders who take credit (and reward) for achievements
