Pros

Amazon has cultivated a positive corporate culture. Employee benefits are excellent, and they even have their own health insurance association. Their operations are integrated with Amazon's e-commerce business, and they are able to think about IT from a user's perspective, which is a great advantage.

Cons

Long-serving employees have strong connections with each other, and knowing who to contact is crucial in the workplace. Even in the frequent layoffs that are currently implemented, senior employees have the information, making it difficult for newer employees to avoid them.

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

Pros

Unmatched Scale: You get to work on systems that handle millions of requests per second. The technical challenges are genuinely fascinating and great for your career. Smart Colleagues: You are surrounded by incredibly sharp engineers. You will learn more here in one year than in three years at most other companies.

Cons

Work-Life Balance (WLB): Highly dependent on your team, but generally poor. On-call rotations can be brutal, and there is a constant pressure to deliver more, faster. Burnout Culture: The "Day 1" mentality means things move fast, but it also leads to high turnover. The stack-ranking and PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture creates unnecessary anxiety.
