Pros: Working at Amazon has given me a comfortable salary and many opportunities to learn from talented engineers.

Cons: The office is quite the boy's club, and any questions about the future of gender equality in the office are answered with "We're working on it." or "What else could we be doing?".

Pros: Good to have on your resume. Great TC as compared to most companies, if you are consistently in the top bucket when they do talent review. Good if you can find a good manager and a good team.

Cons: No work-life balance. On-call is the worst, especially if you’re on critical teams. A lot of talk, not much action when it comes to doing actual feature work. Everyone wants to talk about it and insist on writing documents after documents to align with how many other engineers with infinite opinions to share. Disguised as a data-driven company, but most impactful decisions are usually just what leadership wants to do, especially in the recent fiasco with RTO and RTO with the CEO’s “judgment call.” Doesn’t matter what your performance is or your tenure with the company, they will not hesitate to screw you over if they want to.

Pros: 1. Nice pay 2. Diverse work 3. Solving complex problems

Cons: 1. Worst work-life balance. 2. Too much office politics and manipulation. 3. Recognition is given only when you provide impact, no matter how much or effective your contribution is.
