Pros

This was my first job out of college, amazon often takes newer people and helps them grow. I learned way more on my first few years on the job than in school. Decent wage and benefits. There are a lot of smart people in aws

Cons

Not a lot of vacation time. There are periods during the year where you feel very overworked. Oncall can be a nuisance to your personal life depending on the team and management priorities.

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.
