Can't sleep at night
Nice pay. Other than the pay, there isn't much else that's a pro. The work isn't bad, but it's also not good either. Domain knowledge is all you need.
Well, Amazon cares about customers but not employees. For a fresher, you can gain knowledge about technology. For a little more experienced person, it's not a software development company; it's a retail company. The software development practices are horrible. The tools used internally are a pain.
And also, forget about having a life out of work. The people in India expect you to work during the day, and people in the USA expect you to work at night. There are no flex hours, and you are not expected to work from home or something like that; it will not be appreciated.
If you want to hire technology people, then the culture needs to change.

Tough. Interviewers didn't pay attention sometimes, on their phone, etc. They also didn't really listen to what I was saying. It seemed like they were there to check a box. Not helpful at all when I asked for further clarification outputs.
