Pros

Company doing well in the market Get to work on the hottest smart assistant devices in the world Huge product line up to choose from if you get bored with what you're doing Great IT Free gym

Cons

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

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.
