Sr. Mng - Utterly unrealistic quality expectations - no time, only mistakes matter and cost dearly Amazon doesn't have QA in many groups or they are woefully under staffed No Sr QA Mng clout or support (Director/VP)- notice there are zero QA Manger reviews on Amazon No refined QA Standards/processes across the board - did I say zero YES Double edge review process - don't rock the boat just be loved by all Frugality - means QA wont have resources to be successful - just live with it (die with it) Software Security Team - PARANOID no open source software tools - who cares about success

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
