Pros

- Great benefits, salary, and experience working on technologies at scale with opportunities for technical design

Cons

- Work style, WLB, and everything else highly depends on what team you're in which you do not get to choose - Fully remote work is NOT an option, it is required to come in at LEAST 3 days a week, sometimes more depending on the team. This is a major downside of working at Amazon

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.
