Pros

If you want to be a part of a high performance startup team without the uncertainties of a typical startup, Amazon is the place. At Amazon, innovation towards simplification and automation comes naturally and you are encouraged to think like a true leader and an entrepreneur. You feel like this is really YOUR business and YOU really ought to be driving it.

Cons

There are some concerns on work-life balance especially if you are on-call

Pros

The company is huge and it has a role for everyone and the company empowers people to thrive towards what they are passionate about! As Engineers you own your destiny and an abundance of approachable people at all levels in the company!

Cons

- Since the company is huge, there are too many processes to get a product out and I think its necessary for a company this big! - The RSU vesting cycle is tail heavy as in the majority of the RSUs vest towards the 4th year (its probably the strategy to retain people)
