Pros

- You are never the smartest person in the room thereby always leaving scope to learn more. - The work and company culture (customer obsession) is honestly quite amazing. - A whole other world inside amazon in terms of development, meetings, design, etc.

Cons

- Doesn't offer as many benefits as its competitors - Has slightly less number of public holidays

Pros

Work life balance wasn't as daunting as what people have said Reaching out to people with relative ease within the company Smart and reliable people

Cons

It is a huge company, so it will sometimes make you feel aloft, but there are definitely communities and groups that you can join Ramping up was relatively hard, since the internal ecosystem is very much tailored towards this company (i.e. jargons etc)
