i miss the pacmed building in seattle — i could bring my dog to the office and the front desk always had doggie treats for me. i was part of the usability group.

in our group, we had about 15 people, mostly with backgrounds in psychology, human computer interaction, and anthropology. i left amazon.com for a different opportunity. i’m still in the ecommerce space, but i’m now making more money and i have people under me. amazon.com in your resume is a good thing. i recommend working at amazon.com — it’s a great place to come from.

male, 1999 – 2000
