Pros

Good salaries/Compensation, Sign in bonus is good as well. Lots of talented people ( some of them are pricks as well)

Cons

- Pager Duty, 15 minutes to respond in the event of an alert - Managers main goal is to suck blood out of you. Most of them are micro managers.

Pros

latest and cutting edge Technology. one of the best places to learn and grow. Open to people of various background, skills and trades.

Cons

I might be part of small percantage of hires but Amazon India, have a practice of making lateral hires by mis reporting the Titles, positions to candidates. I have been confirmed for a title of SDE 2 and yet after a week of joining, it was told theres been a mistake and you have been hired for SDE 1.

Pros

I have learned a lot from Amazon. There is a lot of innovation there and I could image to go back any time.

Cons

There is one thing that I did not like at all. It is the performance reviews process and specially the calibration that was done by some people that had no idea of the team members of a group.
