      Pros

      If you are in a good team, you might get overwhelmed by the pace at which development happen. Join the company only when you want to work on new technologies and grow as an engineer.

      Cons

      Work life balance is not one of the best.

      A great place to work

      Pros

      I've been working for Amazon Web Services for over five years now and I have enjoyed the experience. I appreciate excellent work-life balance. It's extremely rare to work more than 40 hours/week or to work in the evening/weekend. I have lots of vacation and virtually no restriction when I can take it. On-call is unfortunately a thing but it's just one week every 2-3 months. Sometimes I won't get paged at all, sometimes a get woken up one or twice but again that's very rare and we definitely consider instances where people got paged to be Bad Things and try to remedy them. Comp seems solid but I have admittedly not done a whole lot of shopping around lately.

      Cons

      Open space offices. I hate open space office and strongly believe it detracts from effective collaboration and productivity. But this is not unique to Amazon, you'll get this at most tech companies.

      Pros

      Lot of teams and projects at Amazon which means you don't have to move to a different company to work on something different. Working on cutting edge technology Ability to come up with your own idea and taking it all the way to production.

      Cons

      Bad perception about the company's work culture and certain teams having different issues. This is true for any company. If you know how to navigate through these, you will be fine. Not a lot of employee perks
