Pros

- Great people - Great development environment - Considerable latitude and flexibility accorded to engineers - Continual "bar raising" - improve daily or fall to the side

Cons

- Slough - Only one technology department (no opportunity for horizontal transfers) - Other than internal turnover within existing groups, there is little sense that Amazon is interested in growing or investing in UK- or EU-based engineering teams

Pros

Dynamic Fast Moving Interesting and exciting at times Passionate people - at first or when they're being advanced in their careers

Cons

Churn and burn "If you don't like the pace - go and find a new job" Everyone's expendable, they'll just replace you Expect you to do two people's work, for the salary you earn - reluctant to bring in support to manage workload
