      Pros

      Amazon is an incredible place to work and presents a constant set of challenges for me. I see my career growing exponentially while I am here and I feel very privileged to be here. The distributed nature of the Company makes each team I have worked for feel extremely different and this fact also means that individuals have a great deal of power in shaping their teams culture and values.

      Cons

      The head office is located in Seattle which has caused a significant amount of inequality in this city. Amazon offers employment in many cities around the world but more should be done in Seattle to ensure the city remains relevant to everyone and not just those privileged enough to work for Amazon.

      Pros

      In AWS, you will be working on cutting-edge technology with innoviation, The most important thing is you have to work on the scale of AWS, which is the biggest cloud on earth. You will be totally immersed by the Amazon Leadership Principles. The key to success is always to customer obsession and start from backward. It is a very fast paced company and you have to embrace changes every couple of months. Once you are used to the pace of Amazon, I believe you can survive any company. Also, there are many teams and technologies, you can choose what's interesting to you and work on it.

      Cons

      If you are looking for stability, Amazon may not be a good choice to you. You have to be dynamic and flexible to work with the technology and organization.

You feel like this is really YOUR business and YOU really ought to be driving it.

      Cons

      There are some concerns on work-life balance especially if you are on-call
