Pros

Compensation is obviously better than most companies that aren't big tech

Cons

It's common to join a team where you get worked like a horse. Not all teams are bad, but it is common.

Pros

Experience at Amazon is heavily dependent on the team and the manager. Fortunately for me I had a positive experience. Flexible work hours no micro management by manager.

Cons

RTO was handled poorly and there is a lack of communications by senior management on policies.
