      Pros

      pay? possibly, if you either got stock early enough or if you are in a cash bonus window

      Cons

      trash "leadership" - really just upper management. zero vision horribly backwards talent ranking system which is really still a good 'ol boy system You will always grind, but never in a good way. It's just fighting the horribly inept tooling, procedures and bureaucracy. it's all about following trends and latching on to the latest buzzwords (see genai buzz) most upper management now isn't engineering, but product managers and salespeople who have no clue about tech debt or what it really means to take tradeoffs through a product lifecycle there is a ton of waste on stupid projects begging for a customer

      Pros

      Amazon pushes you to always be thinking bigger, improving your processes, and becoming more agile

      Cons

      Not for the faint of heart looking for a company where you can coast or fly under the radar

      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.
