Pros

Learning/growth opportunities, highly skilled colleagues, options to go deep and get expertise, but also possibilities to change teams.

Cons

Many developer roles come with oncall which may mean you get paged in the night. Not everybody likes it, but it's part of the ownership principle. And you must agree with Amazon's treatment of logistics workers.

Pros

Industry-leading scale. Amazon builds and operates some of the largest computing systems in the world.

Cons

Comparatively low pay, long hours, and little respect for the engineers who make the business run. Amazon views engineers as fungible and consumable.
