      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - You get a good salary while joining - You got to work on high scalable and smart systems - Good blend of technologies and automated systems.

      Cons

      - No work life balance at all, upper management expects you to work on weekends - On-call is terrible (a 24x7 support engineer with a pager to clean the crap) - Even though the notice period is 1 month, managers will try to delay and hold you, almost mentally harass you to serve for around 2 months (Myself has seen at least 4 such cases with different teams). I don't understand whether AMZN gives special training to managers to torture their employees. - Expect promotion once in 4 yrs (6 yrs for some ppl), unless you are good in hypocrisy and politics. There will always a carrot to lure you till you finally give up and leave the company. Forget about awarding, you will figure out that the job is not even rewarding. - Hikes are not impressive unless you get some good amount of stocks. - One lesson: A customer centric company is rarely employee friendly.
