Fun, challenging, but a little slow
Great worker benefits: health care, RSUs, learning tools.
A great culture of customer obsession and invent and simplify, where you can quickly identify and apply the Leadership Principles. You can be fully remote or work in the offices.
Great challenges on scalability, reliability, high availability, security, and cloud best practices.
Too many tools/websites (half of them deprecated) to handle in daily work. Bureaucracy is something that slows you down every now and then. Not so great SCM and PR/CR tools.
Invent and simplify is one of your best principles, in my opinion. Bureaucracy (too many tickets, too many pamphlets, too many steps) kills it half of the time. I strongly believe you can do better.
Also: CRUX and code.amazon.com are not just great. Check out GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket. Now those are great developer tools. Everything is not Java or Python (builder tools), keep that in mind.
