Pros

As a Junior SDE, I have the opportunity to continue pursuing my degree in college while also experiencing how computer science is used in the real world through Amazon. I love being able to learn about corporate culture, professional teamwork, and time management to accomplish all my goals while still being a college student. My favorite thing about working here is the culture: Amazon is an empowering company. They encourage you to think outside the box, make your ideas vocal, and push to make them a reality. This trust and responsibility that the company places in you allows you to take ownership of both your own and the company's development.

Cons

Amazon definitely pushes you to deliver results. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, it can lead to high stress and feeling lost in how to accomplish your tasks when you're blocked. Your team will assume you're fine unless you say otherwise, so the responsibility to communicate your needs and reach out for help falls completely on you.

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.
