      Pros

      you may be exposed to cool tech, such as AWS, Machine Learning, and that's pretty much it - not so cool tech.

      Cons

      No perks. At. All. Nuf said.

      Great place to learn and work

      Pros

      "Work hard, have fun, make history", most of the times, it's true. Lot's of opportunities to learn and move to different roles if you try it (hard). Goal focused and data driven company.

      Cons

      Results should be objetive, but they are not. Like in any other company, you find politics and standard processes/rules/policies, apply to some. Managers dont tend to care about people just metrics. Although there are good people managers around there but it's not something company wide enforced, at least in my experience.

      Day 2 company

      Pros

      Smart people. Nice environment. You are working for a major tech player.

      Cons

      Since Jassy took over as CEO Amazon has been on downhill. As you are more senior, more of your salary is based in stock. Employees take all the risk whilst Amazon takes none: If the stock goes down as it did in 22 and 23 you get no compensation. If the stock goes well as it did in 2024, they won’t increase your base salary (this happened for the first time ever) On top of that, they used to grant you stock for the next 2 years, now is only for 1 year. Add layovers, hiring freeze, limited AI innovation in Retail and Alexa, ridiculous return to office policy, no L7-8 opportunities, and no wonder most of my team has started to move to other tech companies. Either Amazon changes fast or is destined to be a Day 2 company.
