Pros

Very dynamic and fast pace. If you have a good idea they will give you the green light and the opportunity to make an impact. Amazon hires smart people

Cons

Feedback is very passive aggressive. They will let you think you are doing a good job but you will learn the truth during yearly feedback only. They talk about work-life balance, but you will go home early and work from home.

Pros

Your contribution is recognized if you do well. Salary is handsome for a job in India. Good company for hard workers.

Cons

Aggressive workload. On call duties. The emphasis here is much more on business impact of your work than quality of work.
