Pros

Growth and opportunity, if you're willing to swing away without giving up. More potential than any other company I have ever touched (consulting or working for). Long term success of the company. I truly believe that this company is very strong and will be amongst the giants soon.

Cons

Too much ego. folks that have been with Amazon for a few years have a better than thou complex. Lot's of smart people, but lacking a warrior ethos. Focus on external customer is maniacal, but internal is missing. Work Hard. Make History. Yes, I believe! Have Fun....ok, if it's up to me to do it on my own.

Pros

Amazon offers an exceptional work environment with cutting-edge technology and world-class engineering challenges. The compensation package is highly competitive, including strong base salary, RSUs, and comprehensive benefits. Career growth opportunities are abundant — there are clear promotion paths and access to internal mobility across thousands of teams globally. The scale of impact is unmatched; you work on systems that serve hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. Colleagues are incredibly talented, driven, and collaborative, making every project both challenging and rewarding.

Cons

The pace can be fast and demanding at times, which requires strong time management skills. Work-life balance may vary depending on the team and project deadlines.

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.
