Pluspunten

You work with some very smart people who genuinely care a lot about the product, the pay is good, and even though some rules sound fairly strict (smart casual dress code for example), if you get your job done, people don't care. Hackathons were also a great chance to experiment with the Kindle.

Minpunten

Very political - there were tensions within my group, and to get things done you really had to get people on your side on the exec level. Often needed to get approval before I could go ahead and do things.

Pluspunten

Good pay, interesting problems to solve, and smart teammates.

Minpunten

No benefits (food, freebies, etc). I know one of the LP has to do with frugality, but wish they were less frugal toward employees

Pluspunten

Lab 126 has a lot of bright engineers and designers, and resources to get things done and ship products.

Minpunten

Amazon's values are all about the customer -- the employees come second. That means you'll have fewer quality of life nice-to-haves.
