Pros

-decent pay & signon bonus. -Big company, talent teammates.

Cons

-unrealistic project schedule, but manager don't think so, they think devs can solve all the problems in a short time. Managers don't care about devs. -teammates are very aggressive. -oncall is horrible. you're paid as SDE but you're also doing the job as SDET and support engineer

Pros

Good salaries/Compensation, Sign in bonus is good as well. Lots of talented people ( some of them are pricks as well)

Cons

- Pager Duty, 15 minutes to respond in the event of an alert - Managers main goal is to suck blood out of you. Most of them are micro managers.

Pros

latest and cutting edge Technology. one of the best places to learn and grow. Open to people of various background, skills and trades.

Cons

I might be part of small percantage of hires but Amazon India, have a practice of making lateral hires by mis reporting the Titles, positions to candidates. I have been confirmed for a title of SDE 2 and yet after a week of joining, it was told theres been a mistake and you have been hired for SDE 1.
