Great Pay, Small Teams
Great Pay, Small Teams
Good compensation package, no state tax in Washington. Competitive with Google and Microsoft.
A lot of exciting teams to work on, which was surprising, especially to those that view Amazon as a "bookstore."
Teams are usually small, divided into two pizza teams, meaning that each team can be fed by two pizzas. This is nice.
Employees don't get their own offices, which can sometimes make it hard to program. But, of course, this is the case at most programming companies, so it's not really Amazon-specific. They have no offices in California, so you pretty much have to move to Seattle.
Mixed feelings. Some are great, some are so-so.
