Pros

People across the board are open to helping you, which can be rare in the corporate space. There aren't unqualified people in the building, so anyone you speak with has some value that they bring to the table. It's a challenging environment that forces you to get better, which I appreciate.

Cons

Full time in office, morale is very low, management can make/break your experience and advancement. Low transparency on decision making, disconnected senior leadership to individual contributors, you're only a "number" in the company which de-values employees. Very low pay for the amount of work expected, no bonuses/commission is terrible to not have. Favoritism does come into play in certain scenarios.

Pros

- Work with intelligent and driven people - Potential for interesting projects - Excellent tooling for software - Nice name to have on resume

Cons

- Can have a toxic and backstabbing culture, especially as you are promoted up - Retail/AWS are pretty obviously no longer "day 1" culture. Way fewer chances being taken, anything not making an immediate profit is in danger. Little vision and even less appetite for risk. - Potentially bad oncall/work life balance, very team dependent - Compensation does not match peers, very stock based and the "average" comp increase is usually less than inflation
