Pros

Smart peers, Good pay, Freedom and ownership. Amazon had successfully found a formula to satisfy technical talent by including them as part of the business decision-making process, even though business and customers are the priority.

Cons

Work-life balance

No great opportunity to learn technical skills or learn new stuff, apart from the project work.

Advice to Management

Think more about contributing and innovating on technical talent and resources, like open source, through which the company had gained immensely, such as Android and other open software.
