Pros

Still very hot. Could add value to your resume.

Cons

Just want to say this place made me bone-tired, mentally. It really reaches the point that I don't want to fight it anymore. Fair or unfair, does it matter? I don't really care. One thing I definitely learned is: Don't work hard, cuz it's gonna be counted against you at the end of the day. Work "smart", cuz nobody remembers your accomplishment.

Pros

working as SDE for Amazon Dev Center in Romania -> Amazon is definitely much better than the outsourcing industry in Romania (Eastern Europe), from all points of view: smart colleagues, much more exciting projects (wide impact, cool technologies), much better pay, perks, looks better on your resume, etc Granted, we are in Romania, and Amazon doesn't have Google or Microsoft to compete against as employers for SDEs, but still.. it's pretty cool

Cons

steep learning curve, 'frugal' documentation, self-learning seems to be the norm. Colleagues will help you, but I still have the sink or swim feeling
