Pros

Everyday at Amazon was a challenge, but in a good way. I enjoyed the people a lot, and there were a lot of interesting people that worked in Seattle. The development community was always there to help. The same goes for managers and top execs.

Cons

It used to be a small development shop. It is now a larger corporation, and feels like it.

There is a lot of red tape getting things done, especially when projects collide and require the same resources.

If it is a "Jeff" project, those always seem to win.

Advice to Management

I loved every minute of it.
