Pros
-Really impactful work, huge cost and time impact working on systems that get products from distributors to customers -Access to the full Amazon system: amazing resources for learning technical and soft skills. Cutting edge skills with machine learning and the cloud are core Amazon offerings, and you get outstanding exposure to these. Soft skills are high priorities, and heavily accompanied with high quality talks and trainings about why x and y are important and how to apply them. Huge fan of the Amazon Leadership Principles. -Very friendly environment, very flexible workplace. Give and take reality where people come and go as they please and frequently work from home. -Clear systems and transparency let you get involved in a lot of processes and understand why something was done the way it was done. -Work closely with a physical system and lots of people (in operations using your systems across the country). Robots are being tested/worked on in the same building where you work
Cons
-Flip side of give and take, you might get woken up to a 4am emergency a few times a year (depends on your team, could be more or less). -No free lunch, frugality is a soft skill/leadership principal
