Pros

Great set of technologies to work on. I like the ownership and freedom to drive a project.

Cons

No benefits. No worry life balance. No mental peace. All they care is your work. It doesn’t matter whatever you are going through.

Pros

Working at Amazon can lead you to work with some really intelligent, hard-working engineers on projects at massive scales (think millions of TPS).

Cons

Unfortunately, within Amazon you can have a variety of differences in leadership quality. Personally, I have had a couple of fantastic managers, but equally as many less competent ones. Additionally, there are a lot of top-down mandates and a seeming lack of ambition from leadership towards growing and externalizing services that have the potential to do so.
