Pros

Great Compensation Package(127k base, 65k sign on bonus over 2 years, 28 RSU over 4 years) Surprisingly friendly people (I'm concerned that our project is too difficult, but everyone on my team seems so confident and reliable, they make my concerns go away) Amazon will take all the time you're willing to give them, being oncall seems like a norm and expected at Amazon. My department doesn't do monday morning nor friday afternoon meetings. So all the nightmare stories you heard about WLB at Amazon is varying at the least. I work 100% remote

Cons

Amazon has sooo many services and systems. Even internally learning how the other systems work is so much work. In general the Amazon services are incredibly complex.

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.
