      Pros

      Pay and international work opportunities to change teams

      Cons

      Toxic Culture No work life balance Mangers get PIP quota and deliberately find target engineers to PIP Huge politics in sister teams and within teams Very less annual leaves If you take paternal/maternal leave then you will be PIPed when you return Not at an ideal company for people looking for work life balance or to spen time with family at any time during their tenure at Amazon

      Pros

      The sign on bonus was good.

      No cons really. People are people wherever you work.

      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.
