Pros

Smart, driven coworkers Access to large-scale systems and real-world tech challenges Amazon’s internal tools are powerful (though not always intuitive) Good pay and benefits for big tech

Cons

Culture can feel transactional and metrics-obsessed Very little room for error — mistakes can feel amplified Long hours are often normalized, especially if you’re ambitious Career advancement can depend more on narrative-writing than actual impact Internal politics and reorgs can make it hard to maintain project continuity
