Pros

Good work-life balance while working on Alexa devices org compared to AWS. Some weeks might work 50-60 hours though (maybe like every 2 months). Compensation is very good.

Cons

Management doesn't care about tech debt. Very unscalable business, every other month are releasing new products that have to be compatible with existing software.

My team is great. We have a good work life balance and a healthy atmosphere.

Cons

RTO. Sometimes unreasonable expectations. High turnover on other teams makes working with those teams difficult.
