Pros

You get to work with pretty smart people. Stock bonuses.

Cons

Internal processes seem to slow the development, I guess I prefer a start-up like atmosphere. Some people might also find themselves often working over-time.

Pros

Challenging and impactful projects in a fast-paced environment with smart colleagues. The Berlin office has amazing teams across orgs and bright young people. WLB in Berlin is good too (28 days of PTO)

Cons

Doesn't pay as much as competitors for the same caliber of work. Amazon rides on stock price, they avoid giving refreshers (so tenure is not properly rewarded) because the stock price is always going up.
