Pros

You get to work on something cool (maybe) that will impact the lives of many when it is released (if ever).

Cons

No work/life balance Many re-orgs Constant re-prioritization Get treated like a commodity -> management expects any engineer to be functional anywhere Overwhelming deadlines (no wonder people cry at their desks)

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.
