Pros

Everything is driven through the lenses of the Leadership Principles, so it's very easy to know how to succeed and grow here. There are incredibly smart people here, so it's very difficult not to learn and grow your career at an accelerated pace. Above industry average compensation.

Cons

No-one will manage your career or workload for you and Amazon will take everything you want to give it. So if you're overworked, it's your job to not let that happen. If you're not good at pushing back, don't apply.

Pros

- first-class software organization - peculiar leadership principles, and the employees do breathe and live with them. They are really and frequently used in assessing strategies, products, processes, and people. - senior leaders are often right a lot and dive deep - lots of internal transfer opportunities and different career choices - contrary to a lot external articles, there are a lot of care and support from management, HR, and company level. the benefits are decent.

Cons

Extreme frugality: you need to spend time to get lunch outside the office, the coffee in the office is extremely light, workspace is a bit crowded, the IT equipments are pretty basic. Admittedly this is also why Amazon is so successful in keeping the price low.

Pros

I have been here for 5 years and still feels fresh! Work on a team, deliver products for customers and switch to next team once you have been there enough. This keeps me fresh and excited!

Cons

It's difficult to grow after L6.
