Pros

Pay. Amazon trusts its PMs. Some interesting work on large scale. WFH for now. Great Medical benefits. RSUs can be very valuable in years the stock runs.

Cons

60+ hour weeks all year. More in peak. Many teams are understaffed and push for people to work 24/7. Burnout is high. Sr leaders don't hesitate to ask non critical questions in the middle of the night. The teams with openings are usually the teams who cannot retain talent. Morale is lower this year than in previous.

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.
