      Business outlook

      Pros

      Surrounded by talented colleagues, you are empowered to do the right things and make impacts. Chance to learn a lot of new technology; Access to Amazon tools and systems; Adopt modern software development life cycle best practices; Still startup atmosphere; Good work life balance. Directly interacting with business users; Goal is clear and you can work towards it. Well defined career path; Options to stay technical or move to management. Unlimited opportunities inside Amazon family.

      Cons

      There are still old systems developed by outsourcing company before Amazon acquire Quidsi. Those systems are very dis-organized and require a lot of attention. These problems are being addressed now and tech is empowered to fix them or rewrite them. Not enough tech resources, recruiting is very slow.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review! You are certainly correct that Quidsians are extremely talented and innovative. Integration with Amazon has also created an incredible opportunity for Quidsi employees to gain access to Amazon’s wide breadth of tools and systems. While Amazon is a great parent company, we do try to maintain that Quidsi spirit, and we’re glad that you recognize that. Quidsi has also been ramping up recruiting efforts to address some of the tech resources you touch on. We are dedicated to Hiring and Developing the Best. And I know that Quidsi will continue to grow and thrive while providing superior service to our customers.

      Great experience for SDEs

      Software development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Young teams. Lot of opportunities and responsibilities as a SDE. A great launchpad into Amazon's development procedures and tools. Diverse associates bring variety and vast experience into the team. Great work/life balance. Perfect blend of a startup culture + Amazon policies. Amazing view of NYC. Lot of fun activities(Beer Thursdays, Bagel Fridays, Waffle Wednesdays, Group lunch Tuesdays, lot of other fun activities are organized.)

      Cons

      Lot of interactions between different teams can be challenging. But it is a great opportunity for improving skills and shouldering responsibility. The company is going through a transition/migration phase.
