Perfect mix of Fun and learning

Pros

*Review after working as SDE for 2 years* College type fun environment in office. ownership is very high. You'll just be told what to do, how to do part is completely in your hand. No hypocrisy. You can go home if you don't have work in office. Flexible work environment. No punch-in punch-out/timesheet handling, you can take WFH for months if its not affecting your project work.

Cons

almost everybody rushes for Promotion and its given important than it should be.

Pros

Generally at Amazon a lot depends on the team you are on. Each team in a way a separate small company. - good compensation package - smart people to work with - generally, not locked to certain technologies, but need to be proficient as not much time to learn - due to being global company - allows to try different places to live

Cons

- generally very fast moving, when there is a design task, not much time to consider and evaluate different approaches/stacks etc. - not much flexibility wfh (but that's most likely due to local management)

Good pay. Little to no benefits.

Pros

Stocks soaring making most employees over compensated.

Cons

Benefits are frugal. What you see on your offer letter is what you get. Expected to work 40+ hours a week.
