Smart engineers, consumer-scale products, strong hardware-software-cloud collaboration, chances to own large programs, and access to mature Amazon tooling and processes.

Cons

Frequent reprioritization, aggressive timelines, limited staffing for the scope, dependency heavy environment, work–life balance varies by org, and advancement beyond L6 has become progressively harder in recent years.

Pros

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

Cons

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