Pros

Some of the best things I have learnt and observed are the ways of working is consistent making it much efficient to work across teams, leadership principles that drive all is super cool. Best practices like 2 pizza team, one way/two way doors, escalation for high velocity decisions do make it very productive. Unlike what I heard before joining, work life balance is pretty good and the manager is very good and is always aiming for innovation and success of the team and the org overall.

Cons

Too little resources for too many things. Right sizing will help though understand the Frugality having the right skilled resources and the right numbers does help. Though a team the team members mostly act as individual contributors who only focus on their own success. Feel like sometime the team play is missing. From what I heard this is the Amazon way and culture and everyone works towards their growth.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
