Software Development Manager
Pros
People often mention that life in Amazon is stressful, on-call load, work life balance issues etc. Trust me that's all wrong. I am in Amazon for close to 5 years now and I really enjoy working at Amazon. I am motivated every day to go to work and solve some real complex issues related to business or tech, and what keeps me motivated is the peers, team, senior leaders that you work with. Amazon has the best workforce at all levels and you get to learn a lot from them and become successful in your career. Amazon takes care of work life balance, lots of employee benefits, work culture is the best. When I joined Amazon almost 5 years back I had heard similar stuff about slogging, work life balance etc. but it all turned out to be wrong and I am happy that I took the right decision at that time and did not go with what rumors I had heard.
Cons
Politics at higher level, and that's part of every other company.
