Pros

Fast-Paced Environment: Amazon’s culture is known for its “move fast” attitude, which can be great for learning and growth. You’re constantly exposed to new technologies and encouraged to innovate. This environment pushed me to become a more efficient and effective engineer.

Cons

Work-Life Balance: Amazon’s fast-paced environment can come at the cost of work-life balance. There were periods where I had to work long hours, especially during critical project deadlines, and this could sometimes lead to burnout.
