Pros

Amazon is an amazing place to learn best practices and work on highly trafficked systems. Very structured process for career development and getting promoted. Efficiency and doing whats right for long term is highly valued. Very easy to work on very impactful projects.

Cons

Oncall can be hard but depends on the team - and might be industry standard. No swag or goodies. Most perks come in form of salary and benefits.

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.
