      Pros

      - Good place to learn how to build systems on an incredibly large scale - Good opportunity for new graduate SDEs - Good overall engineering practices followed throughout Amazon

      Cons

      - A lot of skills you learn here might not be transferrable elsewhere due to a strong focus on internal tooling (e.g. CI/CD, internal serverless compute platform/programming language) - Work often tends to feel slow due to the "away team" culture that can slow down development

      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.
