Business outlook
Pros
- You will be supported and guided as long as you're communicative with your team and managers - You're encouraged to take risks and do new and interesting things when you have ideas - You're generally compensated quite well as an SDE and there are clear paths towards promotion and better comp
Cons
- Working for Amazon - Expectations will become higher and higher over time. This can be seen as a pro or con, but will certainly push you to improve - You can be made to work more than 40 hour weeks, depending on what team you're on/what org you're a part of. I'm lucky enough to not have this problem at my team/org, but have heard several stories of others having to work 50 or 60 hour weeks when big deadlines are coming.
