Pros

The company is huge and it has a role for everyone and the company empowers people to thrive towards what they are passionate about! As Engineers you own your destiny and an abundance of approachable people at all levels in the company!

Cons

- Since the company is huge, there are too many processes to get a product out and I think its necessary for a company this big! - The RSU vesting cycle is tail heavy as in the majority of the RSUs vest towards the 4th year (its probably the strategy to retain people)

Pros

Amazon is a place that does not slow down. We invest in growth and have found a lot of success, which is something to be proud of. You also do not often run into situations where good ideas are not given a fair hearing and/or resources to mature.

Cons

Amazon is run like a conglomeration of small businesses, so your experience depends a lot on your local team. For the most part, there's a very high standard for managers, but a bad manager could have a big impact on your experience and the success of your team.
