Amazon

• Small teams, pizza teams.
• Stocks and pay are good.
• Smart people, though a lot of them are prima donnas.

• Lack of work/life balance: You are expected to work crazy hours and meet arbitrary deadlines set by management.

• Management lacks respect for the engineers: They often yell at employees.

• Management promotes engineers who are loud and obnoxious.

• Operation support: You have to carry a pager 24 hours, which sucks the life out of you.

• Lack of tools/support: Extremely bad tools support for build, deploy, and IDE.

• Poor computer hardware: You have a 5-year-old machine.

• Dirty bathrooms and carpet: Amazon is known for being cheap and it saves every penny, even on cleaning the bathrooms.

Show some respect to the engineers and create some work/life balance.
