Pros

Good tech stack. Lots to learn if you can survive, although it's doubtful.

Cons

Extreme work conditions. Extremely tight deadlines. You are expected to deliver two weeks of work in one week. You are expected to work 15+ hours and deliver, along with weekends. No regard and respect for employees. Not sustainable at all for anyone sane. You will be over-burdened with work most of the time. No concept of work-life balance. Overpopulated place. Nobody has time to chit-chat. Grilling machine. If you're not overworked, you're a waste of resource. Working on weekends is the norm at Amazon.

Advice to Management

Give a damn about employees.
