Pros

The culture is explicitly defined and followed. The leadership principles are referenced and used daily. They are not corporate mumbo jumbo.

Cons

If you do not agree with the culture, Amazon is not the place for you.

Pros

The company is well established, with a reputation of customer obsession. The leadership principles help to reduce communication overhead. AWS offers great pay and opportunities to work on exciting ideas, with amazing engineers and scientist. Good work life balance in the team I work in.

Cons

Fast pace, huge amount of resource as well as opportunities. It could be overwhelming and challenging to keep up and excel if one is not self-driven.

Onboarding Experience

Pros

Onboarding experience was super interesting, my org allowed me to learn, grow and develop providing valuable feedback along the way. It overwhelming at the start but got better each day. It helped that everyone I approached were always willing to help

Cons

Scope is not clear because of the massive scale the company works on, it would be much better to be onboarded onto a team only after understanding Amazon peculiar way first
