      Pros

      At Amazon you get to work with very smart people. There are a ton of different, interesting things going on at the company, so if you want to try something new you can transfer internally.

      Cons

      Lacks all the flasky perks that a Google or Meta would have. Also, because the company is so large decisions and hiring get done in a very process oriented way; exceptions don't get made often. While I had a good experience due to my great manager and teammates , Amazon can be cutthroat is you end up on a team with bad culture

      Pros

      Great leadership experience, fast-paced environment, strong team environment, and valuable exposure to operations management

      Long hours during peak periods, high performance expectations, and work-life balance can be challenging.

      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.
