Pros

1.Good work environment I like the open space 2. You can work from home anytime 3. Tons of overtime meaning tons of workload

Cons

0. Frugality is one of Amazon core value what a stupid policy no wonder why Jeff is becoming the third richest man in the world. 1. Tons of Automation, you become like a machine and you don't use you brain anymore like smaller companies with traditional network and no automation 3. No free parking like Microsoft, Google..etc in Seattle 4. no juice or any other perks like Facebook, Microsoft, nothing but Coffee. 5. Micromanaging people as if we are high school students. 6. I don't understand but the attitude of people I worked with is I know better than you know and each time I ask a question they answer you with a question become exhausting when you deal with such attitude on daily basis. 7. High turnover because they don't want to employees to cash all the stock after four years they want you to leave after two years in any way possible but putting tons of work load on you or give you boring tasks. 8. Repetition everyday you deal with the same issues and same process and procedure and it becomes really boring after 6 months because you repeat your self everyday. 9. Newcomers or junior network engineer don't start at Amazon thinking it will teach you networking it will teach you nothing at all when it comes to Networking. start with small to med size companies you will learn hell a lot of things! 10. they don't offer Orca card for vendors as opposed to Microsoft. 11. yes you get paird overtime but you sometimes requested to work weekends

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.
