Pros

Having work from home. Good pay scale RSU

Cons

Few managers not having people management skills, but become a manager by the blessing of his manager. Should have a skill of pampering managers to grow, otherwise you will fall under PIP which under performance. Working 8 -10 hours, manager thinks you are not working hard and expect more productivity spending more hour. Squeeze day and night , but not much benefits The quality of life will get degrade working with Amazon. I seen few people who are psychologically disturbed in personal life, earning money, but no balanced or having a quality life. I will strongly recommend who are having family and kids then don't join, you will end up on your life in trouble. Working at Amazon don't expect - WORK LIFE BALANCE.

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.
