      Software development engineer (sde)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Good money. 2. If you like to work and learn a lot then this is good place to be in. 3. Offices in multiple locations

      Cons

      1) WLB - Even when you are free (After work or weekends) you will think about job. Most of the time you will work entire day on weekdays and chances are high even on weekends. Because there is always some or other deadline to meet. And if you don't meet the deadline you are in pivot. 2) PIP - Many people get pip'd Tip - Keep studying on side even if you join aws because u never know when you will have to interview in order to find a new job.

      Good pay, but thin margins for error

      Supply chain - product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice pay - the best part of Amazon in general Prestige - Being an Amazonian looks great on a resume and may be able to open the door to other FAANG companies to hire you in the future Market leader - AWS is the best cloud company for a reason. Very stable environment and constantly keeping up the demands of high scale Job switching opportunities - I have heard about this being a good place for job switches, but have not been in that situation Work-Life Balance - After the pandemic, each director was given a choice to allow their reports to work from home or office

      Cons

      Overuse of Frugality - Supposed to be a Leadership Principle, but is overused in the stupidest way possible Overuse of Leadership Principles - Was an issue in the interview as well, but it is annoying to always be forced to think of LPs during everyday work Over-hiring and firing - At least in the pandemic, Amazon was over-hiring, and is now over-firing to compensate. This is an Amazon culture, to bring on talent, but overpay them so that they need to be fired soon No patience with newbies - Very thin margins for error for new Amazonians that are switching fields or need some time to ramp up
