Pluspunten

Scale -- Amazing opportunity to have exposure to large-scale ecommerce, website, infrastructure. Truly the most top-notch security folks I have seen anywhere. Solid Company -- I believe that Amazon has a good, solid core business and that Jeff truly does have vision. Amazing colleagues -- Some really smart, good people that I have loved to work with. Exceedingly competent software development overall. Vacation -- stay there long enough (7+ years) and you'll get a decent amount of vacation.

Minpunten

Compensation -- get the best comp package you can when you start, because you won't get much thereafter and everything will be based on that. If you luck out with a good manager that will fight for you, you may have a chance. Otherwise, the only way to get any decent raises is to get really well known and a lot of senior management to think on you favorably (without making any enemies) so that when your name comes up in a ratings review meeting. Reviews -- feedback/actual performance and compensation are unrelated. Promotions are fights requiring significant documentation and a boss that likes you and a boss that likes your boss. Management is generally very hit or miss -- a good manager can make all the difference in the world and a bad manager can be only mildly damaging at best. Employee recognition (especially for non-software developers) is nonexistent unless your particular manager cares about it. As with many larger companies, the individual group you are in makes a huge difference.

Pluspunten

Echt slimme mensen, veel kansen voor groei, altijd aangemoedigd om innovatief te zijn, groots te denken en iets nieuws te creëren. Competitief salaris en secundaire arbeidsvoorwaarden bij andere grote technologiebedrijven. 100% zelfmotiverende werkomgeving. Geen dresscode en viervoeters zijn welkom.

Minpunten

Je moet gemotiveerd zijn. NIEMAND zal je hand vasthouden en je vertellen dat je het geweldig doet. Als je constante bevestigingen van het management nodig hebt, is dit bedrijf niets voor jou.
