Pros

The company really leans in to onboard you and get you up to speed with their ways of working and company culture. I was given a generous amount of time to feel comfortable with the role and work through initial training material. The organisation operates at a blistering pace. I found myself having to plan out what I would focus my time on, because its impossible to complete everything (there is always more work at Amazon.) You will never be bored

Cons

This is not necessarily a "con", but reflective thoughts based on my experience. The company is relatively flat for a large enterprise. Lots of what we do is scrappy and startup like in nature. If you are looking for a polished processes and well paved pathways, or you require regular direction to complete your day to day.. perhaps this is not for you. Amazon really expects you to operate autonomously and pave your own adventure. You will have the opportunity to have regular check-ins to make sure you are on track, but you are expected to keep everything moving forward in your role with minimal hand holding.

Pros

Best place to work if you like fast paced start-up style environments. You get a lot of freedom to focus on topics that you're interested in.

Cons

Once you get past your initial package, you have to work hard to get additional RSUs / salary increase / promoted.
