      Pro: Lots of learning, Con: Managers will burn you out

      Pros

      Lots of learning + working on problems at scale. Smart colleagues.

      Cons

      Managers suck + leadership are not so good. They cause almost everyone to burn out eventually. I've worked with almost 10 managers so far, and I can say that there is a clear problem with manager culture at amazon.

      Pros

      You could be fortunate and come across some really sharp, knowledgeable people from time to time.

      Cons

      Managers seem to care mainly about numbers, not people. Not everyone is treated the same; some staff members are favored, even when they perform poorly. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) is preached but not always practiced. In general, the majority of staff (at least from my experience in Enterprise Support) seems to be highly overworked and stressed a lot of the time.

      Pros

      1. Work in itself is interesting 2. The scale at which you operate is unmatched most of the times 3. Some of the smartest people around

      Cons

      1. Leadership is toxic and can get pretty controlling 2. Pay isn't great as compared to some other companies 3. Performance review cycle is extremely competitive and toxic and doesn't let you breathe 4. Deadlines over Quality (always) 5. Operational pain as oncalls 6. Can get very bureaucratic
