Business Outlook
Pros
- Work experience is excellent, with exposure to many different technologies. - Amazon Web Services is a technology leader in some fields, which makes working on some of the web services projects extremely interesting. - Their are some excellent managers and team leaders in Amazon, with great insight into the process of software development. - Amazon has a higher hiring bar than much of the industry, which ensures that most (but not all) employees are competent and good at their jobs.
Cons
- Management are cheap when allocating equipment like desktops to developers. - The company does not sufficiently support a good work/life balance and does not have any problem requiring you to routinely answer calls and tickets in your free time.
