      Pros

      Nice pay. Other then the pay there isnt much of pros. the work isnt bad but its also not good either. domain knowledge is all you need.

      Cons

      Well amazon cares about customers but not employees. For a fresher you can gain knowledge about technology for a little bit more experienced person its not a software development company its a retail company. the software development practices are horrible. The tools used internally are a pain. And also forget about having a life out of work. the people in india expect you to work in day and people in usa expect you to work at night. there are no flex hours and you are not expected to work from home or something like that will not be appreciated

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
