Pros

* Improve your skill in 360 degree. You are not just expected to do design and development, but you'll be doing peer code and design review, hiring, mentoring, optimizing cost of services by improving cpu and memory utilization, some work for prime day like scaling-descaling of services, oncalls and lot more. * Competitive salary after especially 2022 market correction * Smart peers

Cons

* Competitive environment, expectations are high from employee as compare to other company. * Amazon expects you to be good at all his LPs. Sometimes due to lack of opportunities, it becomes to gather data points for some of the LPs.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
