Amazon

I have been at Amazon for 3+ months now and have enjoyed the amount I've learned in such a short time. I am surrounded by driven individuals who are always willing to help when asked.

Compensation is well beyond my expectations, and the projects themselves are exciting due to the scale that they reach.

It can be overwhelming with a steep learning curve due to the sheer number of metrics, runbooks, tasks, etc. It can be difficult to keep up and requires self-motivation. It can be difficult getting replies from colleagues, especially those higher up, due to the busy schedules everyone has.

The management I have dealt with has been very supportive thus far. My advice would be that more teams follow this approach, as I have heard many stories from other teams where this is not the case.
