Pros

Great work, Great learning opportunities, Smart people to work with. Great impact overall of the work that you do, Pay and other benefits are just icing on the top of this.

Cons

In 2019, I joined Amazon and had the opportunity to work with a series of managers. Over time, there were changes in leadership, and I navigated through various team dynamics. With the guidance of a senior engineer, I transitioned to a new team to explore fresh opportunities within the company. Though the experience was challenging at times, it provided valuable lessons and contributed to my ongoing professional development.

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.
