      Pros

      Working at Amazon is the most challenging & Rewarding experience I have had. You work on interesting problems at scale, and grow a ton as an engineer.

      Cons

      You are just a cog in the corporate machine. They don't care & you can be fired at any moment. I have seen good talent dumped with no good reason in favor of good talent because of their terrible RTO Policy.

      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.
