      Pros

      - Give you quite a good amount of money. Has variety departments, from retail, infra, and internal tools. And many things are worth to learn. - This is really big company, but, also sufficiently agile.

      Cons

      - SDE II's expectation ranges are huge, Promotion is not easy... - Technical skill is not that important. Always insisting "impacts", and sometimes the impactful thing is just adjusting the image size... If you want to be a star, good! if you want to be a expert... go to another company!

      Pros

      Starting right out of college, Amazon provided me with a great environment to grow core team software development skills like writing design docs well, escalating where appropriate, clean code, etc. Teammates are intelligent and helpful, seldom had a bad collaborative experience. There exist opportunities for job growth, if you actively look for them. Management does a pretty good job of giving those opportunities to promising underlings.

      Cons

      AWS generally prefers to use proprietary internal tooling instead of industry standard solutions. Devs use totally-not-Docker package management, totally-not-Asana scrum planning tools, and a totally-not-GitHub collaborative review interface. These tools are all fully functional, but they don't always have the best user interfaces, making onboarding to them a bit of a hassle for new devs. These proprietary tools also silo existing AWS devs into the AWS infrastructure.
