Pros

- a big name in your CV

Cons

- toxic environment - toxic managers that shout at you in front of others, and say good things in 1-1. Managers blame their workers for their own mistakes. - they didn't pay all money they were obliged by contract, so I have to sue them with a lawyer now. And this is a normal thing for them as I heard the same from other workers. - no work life balance. You will have to do 996 with no real growth in the workplace. - the worst code quality I've ever seen. No one has time to implement things properly. So you will have to modify and maintain a really bad code. More than that, they will defend the code as much as possible when you suggest improvements. - manager is sending internal amazon documents after I left 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.
