Pros

- Good project - Good brand value

Cons

- Long hours, No work life balance - Managers are not technically strong so sometime its difficult to justify when micromanaged - Less paid in comparison to SDE - Amazon does not give much values to front end engineers. It's (SDE) backend dev focused company - Risk of firing they call it PIVOT (just google it)

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.
