      Pros

      You learn a ton and are given a lot of responsibility. They will transform you into an extremely solid engineer. You work with some of the brightest people in the industry.

      Cons

      You have to drink the leadership koolaid in order to be successful here. Toxic PIP culture makes it hard to trust anyone. Always have to be looking over your shoulder and questioning other's intentions. You become a great engineer at the cost of your mental health. On-call can be extremely rough, however that issue isn't specific to Amazon.

      Pros

      Excellent pay/benefits, Safety first mindset, flexible scheduling, fantastic training program, phenomenal team support, convenient locations. Plenty of pathways for career advancement and full support for self promotion. Culture is fantastic. You really can be yourself and make many new friends fast. Teamwork is outstanding. Everyone is always willing to help.

      Cons

      Growing so fast that it's hard to keep the same manager. I've had four managers in two months. Constantly have to adapt to new procedures and changes and working locations. Always in a state of flux. Standards keep changing all the time
