Pros

- Working for one of the big 5 in tech - Learning how Amazon succeeded, ..... including Starting from the customer and working backwards - In my role I was exposed to product management in addition to technical leadership. This was useful for my career

Cons

- Only benefits is salary and health insurance. 2% 401K match.... Compared to all companies I worked for, 6, Amazon is the 2nd worst when it comes to benefits. - Unfair time load on DEV team when it comes to interviewing, with no ROI whatsoever. - Robotics culture. Clear carelessness about the human aspect of employees. Especially at the VP/SVP/CEO levels

Pros

There are really smart people at amazon, and we're the leader in Cloud Services. Every day is challenging and I'm constantly learning. I get to build and deliver awesome solutions to problems.

Cons

The Frugality philosophy can be a bit silly. Free food and snacks are standard at tech companies now, we should just make those available. Team culture can vary significantly, its important to find a team that is a good fit for you personally.
