Pros

Your contribution is recognized if you do well. Salary is handsome for a job in India. Good company for hard workers.

Cons

Aggressive workload. On call duties. The emphasis here is much more on business impact of your work than quality of work.

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
