Pros

Lot of intelligent people around. You can learn about high concurrent system, scaling and it's troubleshooting. It is truly customer obsession company but not an employee one. Lots of project. Pay is decent.

Cons

No worklife balance. Growth opportunity is very less. You will get less time and exposure to learn new feature for Oracle DBA. It's Frugal concept make your chances slim to learn new stuff and feature. Mostly DBA times goes for moving the database from one box to another due to hardware issue. Clearly there is no future for DBA and Support Engineer in Amazon.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
