Pros

Your experience can vary greatly depending on your team. Here are my personal opinions on pros:

  • Work on new technology and cutting-edge solutions.
  • Decent compensation package.
  • Good growth and management.
Cons
  1. Work-life balance can be hard sometimes, with hectic deadlines and on-call rotations.

  2. Some management don't have technical expertise; however, there are plenty of good managers as well. It depends on your team.

  3. Long vesting period for RSUs.

Advice to Management

Most of the complaints for Amazon come through work-life balance and bad management, and I have experienced some of it myself. The attrition rate seems to be quite high as well.
