Pros

Generally at Amazon a lot depends on the team you are on. Each team in a way a separate small company. - good compensation package - smart people to work with - generally, not locked to certain technologies, but need to be proficient as not much time to learn - due to being global company - allows to try different places to live

Cons

- generally very fast moving, when there is a design task, not much time to consider and evaluate different approaches/stacks etc. - not much flexibility wfh (but that's most likely due to local management)

Pros

Stocks soaring making most employees over compensated.

Cons

Benefits are frugal. What you see on your offer letter is what you get. Expected to work 40+ hours a week.

Pros

The products are earning money

Cons

Bad people, high-pressure workload, environment is bad. No beverage, no food, only coffee. The oncall is horrible, sometimes you are weakened up in the mid-night to deal with tickets. Management is bad, the managers like to use PIP to threat the developers, so that press them to work. This is a cold place, average staying period is 11 months, people flowing very quickly. The leadership principles are like brainwashing, people like to use LPs to speak to each other, and set obstacles to other team members to show their self values.
