Pros
  • Great compensation.
  • Good opportunity to learn a lot in a particular area of software development.
  • Looks good on resume.
Cons

Depending on the team, work-life balance can be virtually non-existent. This is highly dependent on the manager.

There are no perks such as free food or drinks in the majority of Amazon (in the Palo Alto office, we do get free snacks and drinks).

Advice to Management

Stop being so damn frugal. Improve the perks to match other tech giants.
