Pros

Other companies love people who work for Amazon because of the structure. Use it as work experience and get out Dont stay longer than 2 years in the L4 position

Cons

Underpaid and overworked Not paid your worth for the level of work you do Your job is glorified babysitting of Operations You have to get adults who make way more than you to do their job with absolutely no power to do so Hourly employee held to salary standards They dont actually care about safety, its just optics for the media

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
