Process
Took an online assessment with one LeetCode easy and one LeetCode medium. This was followed by a simulation of a workday flow.
After that, there was a personality/work-style quiz.
Next, a technical interview with one of Amazon's engineers was conducted, where I was asked two LeetCode easys and leadership questions.

Thrown into the deep end

Pros: Compensation and potential growth (looks good on resume).
Will learn a lot about what a big company is like and probably agile methodologies (for a lot of teams).
My team was personally friendly.
Cons: You will be expected to work overtime if you are having difficulty figuring things out. Almost everything is learned on your own. You are thrown into the deep end with no understanding of anything, and it will be stressful to figure out.

Pros: It highly depends on your team, but in my team, I was able to have a good work/life balance because they were okay with me sometimes working at night instead of in the morning.
I also thought the pre-existing wikis and documentation were very easy to follow along, so I was able to adapt well.
Cons: There are no glaring or unique benefits like free lunch or big discounts. I had to use a new package that had many issues, and I could not get much help because most of the team did not know how to use it.
