Pros

Been an engineer with Amazon for the last 5+ years. If you are eager to learn and don't mind working overtime a bit, its a great environment! Definitely drinking from the firehose but you'll come out a much better engineer as a result.

Cons

Experience is heavily team dependent, Amazon is a large company so the experience will differ greatly by team. At the same time, there is an opportunity to search for other internal roles and transfer.

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.
