Pros

- Decent starting salary and signing bonus - Interesting products and features to work on - Some very smart and talented people work there

Cons

- Raises are small and rare, if any at all. RSUs are only given to those with the worst work-life balance or are active in the company politics - Releases are not well thought out - communication between groups and actual deadlines are non-existant - A power struggle between the Seattle home office and Cupertino/Sunnyvale Lab126 offices causes unnecessary friction due to political and communication issues - Company culture is not diversified, Executive and Upper Management is predominantly male

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.
