Exciting and Draining
Amazon is fast-paced. I've worked on several teams within the company, both new and mature, and the push to improve and invent is relentless across the organization.
Software teams at Amazon are fairly independent and feel like startups. That said, working at Amazon gives you access to some of the most intelligent people in the industry, as well as an impressive suite of internal tools.
The pace of Amazon can be just as draining as it is exciting. Also, the semi-autonomous nature of development teams means that you can have vastly different experiences depending on who you work with and for.
