Pros

Lot of autonomy and resources to work on different and interesting problems

Cons

To survive at Amazon, you need to have a very aggressive personality. The PIP culture fosters an every man for himself mentality.

Pros

There are plenty of intelligent and driven co-workers, so you learn a lot from being there. Work-life balance will highly depend on where you work, customer needs, and your supervisor.

Cons

Depending on your life stage (e.g., single, married, kids), hours can feel demanding, so ask about it during your interview. Folks focus on building great products but fail to document and think about ongoing sustainment. Given the high turnover (people move on to work on other great products), the lack of documentation makes it challenging for the successor.

Pros

My interview process went very smoothly, and my on boarding buddy is very kind and knowledgeable. I had a competing offer during the time of my interview process with Amazon, and the team was able to escalate and streamline the process for me.

Cons

I have no complaints as of now.
