Pros: Brand Name: Learn state-of-the-art practices.

Cons: Toxic work culture and politics.

Pros: - You're getting paid FAANG cash! Congratulations! The RSUs you're receiving aren't funny money. It's not some weird, overenthusiastic startup guy trying to convince you that SOMEDAY those options will be WORTH SOMETHING. Nah, it's actual, real-life compensation for your time and effort. - If you get to be on a good team, Amazon can be a very positive experience. - It looks great on your resume. Future potential employers will look at you having spent a while at Amazon as if you are a hardened bad*ss.

Cons: - If you get a BAD team, your experience can be kind of a nightmare. - Reorganizations and shifts happen a lot, so even on a good team, it's hard to guarantee it'll STAY good. - They don't spend as much money on free food and nap pods as some tech companies (which, in the era of remote work, may be fairly irrelevant to you either way). To be fair, some tech companies spend that money historically to try and get you to stick around the office way longer than you should be staying or avoid paying you more by making you think it's "like a family," so this may not be an issue even if you're in-office.

Pros: Flexibility is good and advantageous.

Cons: Long working hours and minimum break time.
