Pros

-Good brand value coming from Amazon -You can work with very talented engineers

Cons

-Very high attrition rate, very few employees stay beyond 2 years -Backloaded stocks to compensate for the fact -Most promotions are likability rather than ability based -There is no organizational stability that would help you to grow in any direction -Managers and above are only in for themselves counting days to get off , highly politically charged -Very short term mostly integration projects -Little to no engineering -Very divided and nonsense organizational structure -Directly managed from Seattle, local management is pretty much invisible and this shows -Not a place to stay and grow, not a place to work as a new grad either -Chaotic, confused, too hierarchical for its size

Pros

The team is welcoming and supportive, with designers across visual, motion, and sound design (rare for Amazon) However, opportunities to collaborate across teams are relatively limited.

Cons

Decision-making can take time due to multiple stakeholder reviews. Balancing design quality with business constraints can be challenging. Job security has become less predictable in recent years.
