      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working on something tangible, something you can explain to friends, family, strangers (e.g., shopping) Opportunity for big impact Customer centrism in company's blood

      Cons

      Top down initiatives are often less customer centric than one might hope Some spending feels wasteful, bad moves from leadership (e.g., a phone nobody wants) Adversarial culture (but this is true at a lot of companies)

      Great product and customer focus

      Senior manager, software development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Major initiatives that can change the marketplace, a great deal of focus on what's best for the customer, top notch engineering and product teams. Lots of resources from across Amazon are available to you if you have a reasonable project. Amazon culture is to stick with a product and make it better and better at every rev, so there is lots of product stability and focus.

      Cons

      Long hours, but that's par for the course in tech industry.
