Pros

Amazon is a place where you are allowed to explore, invent and simplify. you learn you grow, and you make an impact on millions of lives. If I look back at my 2 years with Amazon my learning curve is almost a vertical line and so is every one's. I love it here.

Cons

work life balance is something you have to take care if.

Pros

- Compensation - Career building resume addition - If you land with the right team, it can be an incredible experience - Work from home - PTO - Scale

Cons

- If you land with the wrong team, it can be a terrible experience - Career advancement can be very political. - Suck up to the right people, move 100mph when people are watching and 1mph when they're not, be unhelpful to your peers, make your peers look bad... Do all of this and you'll look great and be promoted. - If instead you focus on working hard, being helpful, being a team player, moving at a good pace regardless of who's watching or the visibility, then you won't get promoted.
