Pros

As a pros, I can only say benefits Amazon offers such as health insurance package, any doc expense coverings (some docs costed me over 1k to translate and shipping, all covered by Amazon)

Cons

- Managers are so bad! Your day typically depends on their MOOD. Some day my manager comes to our 1:1 meeting and says rude words and says sorry I don't have a mood today. It really spoils your day and effects to your productivity. - Forget WLB. Too much work. I remember to meet the performance I worked till 2-3am at least 2days in a week.

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.
