Pros

* Ways of approaching problem solving - using documentation, reviews, pr faq * Very nice co-workers * Projects can be interesting * Flexibility to work outside of the office (either from home or for a few days in another country) * Operation processes

Cons

* Internal tools are causing lots of pains and reduce productivity. * Timelines for delivery are way too ambitious resulting either failing, losing on quality and generating stress for developers * Prioritisation often goes to feature delivery as opposed to quality * Frugality is sometimes ridiculous * Very slow career/salary progression (usually lower than inflation)

Pros

Being one of the Big Five companies in the world, engineers here are the best and shows complete ownership & technically strong. I am learning lot of stuff here and really enjoying working in Amazon. No myths on work-life balance issues, it is just that how you will maintain it.

Cons

I do not find any cons.
