Pros

There is so much to learn while working at Amazon. Every day, I was presented with different challenges that made me think out-of-the-box to solve them differently. The community support is excellent for several types of challenges, and mentorship is the officially supported method to yield long-term benefits.

I grew from SDE to SDM at Amazon. I have worked in two different countries myself and collaborated with teams around the globe. The vast variety of data poses several key challenges and keeps you on your toes always. The teams have great potential, people, work culture, and enormous problems to solve.

Cons

One could easily burn out if they do not balance their work-life or ask for help.

There are several teams or managers who would expect far more than one could achieve.

Finding the right balance is the key for success at Amazon.
