Pros

Fast environment with serious crunch times in order to ship products every year. Every team at Lab126 is run differently. It's very hit or miss how one's experience will be. I landed in a good set of managers whereas I see adjacent teams with much worse work/life balance and day to day just a difference in management chain.

Cons

Impossible get true raises without promotion in SDE track Less cushy compensation and benefits compared to other FANG companies but still good for the bay area

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.
