Pros: Learn a lot of useful software skills for developing systems at a massive scale.

Cons: If I were in leadership, the job I worked would not exist. Many positions exist solely to pad people's promotion documents. After layoffs, many of these useless projects got thrown onto already overworked employees.

Pros: Prestige of working for a large tech company. My position was virtual, with no need to go into the office.

Cons: Joining Amazon Business was the worst experience of my 20+ year career. I realized I made a mistake within the first 30 days after I joined. The tools and technology we use were primitive at best and didn't add any value on my resume. My manager was out of touch and totally didn't care that his people were burnt out. Massive workloads of customer calls and initiatives that were impossible to complete without putting in 50+ hours. My manager was a minion for Amazon, and I truly believe he didn't have a life otherwise. I finally left because the job was not worth my mental/physical health. I wish I had a time machine to go back and decline that offer in the first place. The health benefits sound good at first until you need to go to the doctor. None of the plans offer a copay, and you have to pay in full for an office visit until you meet your deductible.

Pros: Great pay. Intelligent team.

Cons: A stressful company, depending on the team.
