Pros: Amazon is doing every business these days, so there are opportunities to learn and build anything you'd like. The kinds of problems I work on are very unique and hard to find anywhere else. People working here are usually super smart and creative. Stock is doing great, which is why a lot of folks are still here and why the company has been able to hire at such an amazing rate over the last few years. Contrary to what I read in a lot of forums, in my experience work-life balance has been great. I work my own hours, and my managers have been supportive of everyone's schedule. Amazon is a really big place, so YMMV.

Cons: Amazon doesn't have as many perks as other top companies. PTO policies are my main complaint. They take 6 holidays that are official at many other companies and give them back to you as floating personal days. Together with vacation days, you get 21 days time off plus a few federal holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc.). On-call rotation and operating the software you build is not for everybody, but the learnings are very rewarding. It has made me a better engineer.

Pros: good place to learn, reputation.

Cons: Too much politics and bad employees.

Pros: - Great learning experience, lots of trainings, labs, and workshops. - Flexible working hours. - Opportunity to work with different cloud technologies and talented peers. - Good compensation.

Cons: Being a virtual role, it's a bit challenging connecting with folks.
