Pros
  • Free AWS accounts for experimentation.
  • Learning or 20% project days, depending on the team.
  • Good company values (leadership principles).
  • Work-life balance is great, especially in Prime Video.
  • Good office location near Liverpool Street Station.
Cons

In short, there are no software engineers (at least in my ORG) here. Everyone is just a PM with a powerful calculator in their hands called Java.

Amazon killed my passion towards software engineering.

  • Wrong implementation of leadership principles - very dependent on the team
  • No proper benefits (in UK)
  • No free food
