Pros

As a pros, I can only say benefits Amazon offers such as health insurance package, any doc expense coverings (some docs costed me over 1k to translate and shipping, all covered by Amazon)

Cons

- Managers are so bad! Your day typically depends on their MOOD. Some day my manager comes to our 1:1 meeting and says rude words and says sorry I don't have a mood today. It really spoils your day and effects to your productivity. - Forget WLB. Too much work. I remember to meet the performance I worked till 2-3am at least 2days in a week.

Best place to work. Each day you will be amazed with the learning experiences and the leadership principles.

Cons

Nothing. Just that you are now part of big org so less options to switch in future.
