Pros

Amazon has some extremely high standards, so for engineers it is a brilliant place to learn how to do things right. Teams are given the time to build things well, and design them properly. Mostly good work life balance. Good friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Pay and benefits are lower than the rival companies. Managers pass down tasks to their team and dish them out. Very variable manager quality. The most important thing for career progression in Amazon is having a good manager, and these can sometimes be hard to find. Not much transparency in the company. On-call can be a constraint sometimes.

Pros

By the end you'll know you're worth more than what they offer.

Cons

Don't plan on suffering a miscarriage, business doesn't understand biology. You'll be offered a compensation in thebeginning that won't match what you get in the end.
