Pros

The opportunities to do interesting work are there at Amazon. The pay and work/life balance is good. Management is very good from my experience

Cons

The benefits are not great. Conveniences which are common at other companies like a gym or snacks/drinks are often not provided. The company makes a lot of questionable decisions under the guise of "frugality"

Pros

- Working on global scale products - Accelerated learning environment - Autonomy. - Can transition to other teams if I want to do so.

Cons

- Not a 'normal' org. That means you are working in a kind of entrepreneur environment, with a lot of responsibility and you need to learn a lot by yourself. - I don't see in my team a lot of work / life unbalance, but you need to move quickly with your tasks. - The first 2 or 3 months you could feel a little overwhelmed with all you need to learn and do from day one. Gradually you're getting it until you master your craft.
