Pros

Bonus compensation, benefits package, 401k, stock plans, vacation, and paid time off were good. You will also use the best cloud computing technologies and advanced ML skills. In short, big startups will be drawn to your skills due to the power of Amazon.

Cons

Income inequality, lack of diversity (Engineering Team), micromanagement, no work-life balance, mediocre culture, and bureaucracy.

Advice to Management

Try to apply for startup. It's not worth the money because you must create technology to change the next world.
