Pros

Before I accepted the offer, I heard more negative reputations of working at Amazon rather than positive ones. When I tried this job by myself so far for 3 months , I feel lucky that I'm taking the same workload, if not less, as my previous 3 jobs. And I'm getting paid twice more than my previous jobs. There're so many talented people in my team that I can learn from each of them. And we're collaborating and helping each other. And company is open-minded to hire remote workers.

Cons

Need to be flexible and adaptable about priority changes. It's a challenge to gain domain knowledge about cloud computing.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
