      Pros

      All the benefit. Nice stock options. Offices in downtown.

      Cons

      Salaries tend to be a bit on the low side if you happen to be immigrant. Management focus on "results", ie, number of deployments, number of tickets. Managers just care on keep a "happy" state, no matter the project. If your project is building new tools or is behind because you need to build a new service, you will have your team's manager on your back everyday, no matter how much you do.

      Pros

      1. Good place to start your career. 2. Senior SDE will teach you a lot. 3. You can go whatever team you like.

      Cons

      1. Hard to get started. A lot of new stuff needed to be learned. 2. Have to handle trivial stuff sometimes.

      Unstable and not a good place to grow your career.

      Pros

      The level of ownership that you have will vastly exceed other places. Amazon is constantly growing and trying to improve. This can provide a wealth of opportunities for those on the lookout.

      Cons

      I've had seven managers in my time there and all of my coworkers left in a continuous stream. This does not provide a good growth and learning atmosphere. It also increases the workload on the remaining engineers. Leadership principles are used as a pretext by middle management to stifle people they don't like. Don't start me on the technical bar . It is wildly inconsistent.
