Pros

+ Its an Amazon company provides you with experience of using Amazon tools & cloud computing. + Higher starting salary and better RSU signing bonus than Amazon for most people + Free food and booze + Transferring to Amazon is easy and you keep your RSUs. Amazon jobs in NYC, Jersey City & Seattle

Cons

- From the top, its a book publishing company first, technology is an after thought - Workplace culture is full of anxiety & stress - Unrealistic expectations of employees from management, only aggressive personalities make it long term - Promotions are rare, based on drinking koolaid and not on developing good software. Getting to Senior engineer takes more years compaired to Amazon.
