Pros

*Awesome people to work it and learn from *Great options for changing teams every couple of years (Amazon is working in so many spaces, you can move easily without leaving) *Good opportunity to have more leadership *Amazon is publicly traded so RSUs add to base salary *3-4 weeks paid vacation/sick time per year *Ability to work from home when necessary (sick or run an errand)

Cons

*Depending on your manager, might work long hours *On-Call (pager) duties typically 1 week per month *Annual raises do not keep up with market value *No catered meals
