Amazon

The following is based on my short tenure as a software developer:

• Great compensation and benefits
• Flexible hours
• Great career growth opportunities
• Ability to work with extremely smart people
• Easy ability to transfer if you don't like your work/team/location

The on-boarding process, at least for my team, could be improved. There is a lot of information thrown at you, and you're expected to mostly learn on your own, even though I feel it would be faster to learn from a peer.

As an SDE, you're expected to be a part of an on-call rotation (fairly common in industry), which means you have to give up your social life for a week at a time every 8 weeks or so.

Amazon has its own tool for everything, which is kind of annoying when there's better stuff out there that you might be used to (e.g., GitHub, Jira, etc.).
