Pros

Fast growing, Everyone is young, motivated, very smart and eager to solve problems. I have worked with some fabulous people who have freely given their heart and soul to this company. Its a real inspiration to be part of a team with people like that.

Cons

Forget Work-life balance. Engineers are expected to be on call - and believe me you WILL get called at all hours of the night, Christmas Day and more. Managers expect that you get all of your regular work done - regardless of how many hours you were on call. Some Managers have a reputation for being very difficult and unfair. I have Seen managers "set people up to fail" in an effort to get them to seek other employment. Very difficult to get promoted. Compensation was good Most of the original people have left. Culture is changing to the AMZN culture. Rampant Turn over. Very poor support for telecommuting

Pros

Company doesn't have cash flow problem, better job security as long as Amazon doesn't have cash problem.

Cons

Rigid, old-style, management, more like low-tech workshop, not suitable for exceptional engineers. Comparing to west coast hi-tech companies, this company is far behind in terms of work culture, value.

Pros

The outlook they present to the outside world. Cool technology and some really smart people. Free beer on Friday if you are lucky to finish work by 4:30.

Cons

The real world that is present inside the company. Unethical company that cannot keep its promises made to employees. Forget promises, it's hard to even keep/retain its employees. Work life balance is a joke. I've heard even folks at amazon Seattle stopped complaining for the kind of work environment here. Unhealthy competition and mudslinging peers only breeds politics, blame game and hatred. It is by no means team building. They bs a lot about amazon leadership principles and expect the employees only to follow them while they can break them.
