very frugal - so no free drinks in the kitchen. Very limited perks - austere environments. No onsite gym, very limited parking, no onsite entertainment provided in any form. Oncall duties - have to work sometimes during weekends and can get paged during nights when oncall

Pros

Amazon.com does give stock option or stock rewards very generously as a singing bonus offer, and even entry level engineer will get some substantial amount.

Cons

Almost every SDE has to carry a pager and there is an on-call rotation for every team. Not good if you have a family.
