      Pros

      Very fast pace work. Some people are really talented Some teams and managers are really great and they value you

      Cons

      Too much power with so called "Managers" Biased stack ranking and brutal dismissal system. Totally in hands of Managers. HRBP is just a joke.

      Extremely Toxic Work Environment; Rank Stacking encourages Dog-eat-dog Culture!!!!

      Pros

      Discounts on Prime are Ok

      Cons

      The bottom line to all of this is "BUYER BEWARE!" AWS is not a work environment you want to be a part of if you're looking for career advancement, a positive work environment, or professional recognition (they even have a patent stipulation for systems you may create, that end up being owned by AWS....). Last, good luck with your job search, just don't search at AWS.....

      Pros

      Lots of work and smart individuals. Pretty cool projects to work on

      Cons

      Do not expect anything extra compared to other tech companies. Nothing is free at amazon. No free drinks/snacks. No gyms. Nothing. Different teams let alone orgs have very different cultures. It highly depends on your manager how your work/life balance will be handled. I only joined for the name but honestly I should’ve just joined a start up or some mid size company in the bay. You will honestly have the worst time of your life here... and amazon knows this. Their stock vesting accounts for people leaving the company early. Do not make the same mistakes I did and avoid this company at all cost.
