Pros

Latest technologies and cutting edge projects Amazon really cares about security Great compensation Managers are often very flexible with time off Managers listen to senior engineers (and junior too for the most part) Everyone is super nice Switching teams is very easy and encouraged

Cons

On call sucks for the most part (but that depends on the team) Some periods are more stressful than others Some products are sub-par. But in that case you can just switch teams! People leave all the time (mostly moving internally)

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.
