Pros

* Some very strong engineers and the occasional pleasant manager that work here * Compensation

Cons

Amazon's culture makes sure that if you stay long enough you will be a husk of what you were when you started. Frustrated, jaded, burnt out. * very high bar to clear to get to senior * poor upper management * very poor WLB, super common to see working into the late hours of the night and on weekends

It was a good job with decent benefits, not the best in the FAANG tho.

Cons

Lots of micromanaging. Hard to get things done quickly.
