      Pros

      A lot of information can be learned with onboarding. You learn a lot about Amazon Culture and their mission relating to customers. You will also learn about the workflow of Amazon based systems.

      Cons

      I believe their can be a better guide for onboarding in terms of role based work, such as offering more coding exercises/challenges to build up on skills and to familiarize more with review processes.

      Pros

      - Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

      Cons

      - 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
