Pros

The opportunity to learn and grow is top notch. Amazon is leading the way in many technologies and there is most likely an area to work on that you can feel passionate about. This could be a particular technology stack you want to work in or a particular market sector you want to work in.

Cons

Amazon is large and it is easy to got lost in the ocean without a mentor or someone you can talk with. While Amazon is fast paced I felt like I moved at a snails pace to get onboarded and to get to some real work. I do have 0 years of experience though so. Almost all experiences will be different based on the team you are on.

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.
