Pros
I was a little worried about joining Amazon because I've read about the horror stories and reputation online. I have not had no issues with this type of culture in my personal experience so far. For me, it has been a great place to learn and grow my career, speaking from the perspective of an early-career engineer. Some pros: * There's many new developments and projects in my organization, it does not feel stagnant. * I get to use the latest technologies and best practices. * I get a lot of support for career development when I ask for it. * Intelligent and motivated coworkers, inclusive environment. Neither pro nor con: * A big emphasis on writing.
Cons
* You have to be proactive and sometimes persistent with getting the help you need from more more senior engineers.
