Pros

As a pros, I can only say benefits Amazon offers such as health insurance package, any doc expense coverings (some docs costed me over 1k to translate and shipping, all covered by Amazon)

Cons

- Managers are so bad! Your day typically depends on their MOOD. Some day my manager comes to our 1:1 meeting and says rude words and says sorry I don't have a mood today. It really spoils your day and effects to your productivity. - Forget WLB. Too much work. I remember to meet the performance I worked till 2-3am at least 2days in a week.

Pros

Cross training that helps for faster growth and more experience.

Cons

Sometimes you gotta hurry and find equipment or pit equipment before others snag them and leave you with the “bad” ones. That take forever to get repaired.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
