      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

      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.
