      Mediocre even on a decent team - Software Development Engineer Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      - Compensation - Flexible despite 5 day RTO (team-dependent) - You will learn what it is like being a SWE outside of just developing (design process, working with multiple stakeholders, etc.)

      Cons

      - Political asf, people act like a dog begging for a bone for any sort of leadership validation/visibility - Slow development cycles (might be a pro to some lol) - Hack work is extremely common and shortcuts are almost always taken

      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.
