Pros
Work with really smart people Work with exciting technologies - AWS, ML, etc Fast pace , you'll never get bored.
Cons
No work / life balance. Amazon is your life Amazon transfers the risk from them to you. You are on the hook for relocation expenses and return expenses if things go South. Pay is not competitive for Seattle area. The cost of buying leasing home and maintaining a vehicle are prohibitive. Amazon does not take that into consideration when making you an offer. Job deteriorates after the 2 months on-boarding runway. It's like falling from top of the ladder to deep end of the pool. Training is a joke. You should already know everything or be ready to learn what you need for your job your own time.
