Pros

Money - experience means it's easier to find other work when you eventually leave.

Cons

It's well known Amazon is by far the worst of all the big four. Brutal aggressive work environment. Most of the work is not that interesting. Expect to be treated like a cog in a big machine. Most of the experience is Amazon specific and not transferable. The only people who stay longer than 2 years stay for the stock. If you want to be treated well and have a good work life balance, don't work for 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.
