Pros

The volume of learning and growth you experience is unmatched, given that you are committed to make the most of it. Your team will be some of the smartest people you ever worked with

Cons

Your experience is highly dependent on the Org. and your Manager. If you see any red flags here, be ready to walk away because they will dictate what your experience will be like at Amazon. Poor Managers will use power and intimidation to enforce compliance from you if theres anything about you or your performance they don't like.

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.
