Pros

working as SDE for Amazon Dev Center in Romania -> Amazon is definitely much better than the outsourcing industry in Romania (Eastern Europe), from all points of view: smart colleagues, much more exciting projects (wide impact, cool technologies), much better pay, perks, looks better on your resume, etc Granted, we are in Romania, and Amazon doesn't have Google or Microsoft to compete against as employers for SDEs, but still.. it's pretty cool

Cons

steep learning curve, 'frugal' documentation, self-learning seems to be the norm. Colleagues will help you, but I still have the sink or swim feeling

Pros

Amazon is a busy place with a lot of career opportunities. The company is growing really fast and opportunities are available worldwide. Internal transfers make it possible to move to a different city where the company is located.

Cons

From end of November to end of December is a blackout period at the Amazon fulfillment facilities. No vacation time is allowed during this period.
