Pros

1. Amazon is a great place to work for! You will get a lot to learn and if you are an enthusiast in problem solving then Amazon is a right place for you. 2. Peers are helpful in unblocking you from facing hurdles initially and when days go by, you will be mentored to unblock yourself on your own. 3. You will feel included in the team and your voice/ideas is always heard by people as Amazon considers employees as their super-powers. 4. Amazon is an open place where you can explore whichever carrier opportunity you want to choose/ whichever technology you want to work on.

Cons

1. Amazon basically follows a start-up culture, hence in few teams the processes are not streamlined though. Yet, you will be regularly asked about the issues you faced as a new joiner/employee and people will definitely look-up for ways to fix streamlining the process.
