Pros

One of the best things at Amazon is that you have many opportunities to prove your value. They encourage you to choose between different challenges, they support you with personal issues, and there is a well-defined process to apply promotions. Great salary and benefits too.

Cons

Depending on your team, you may have to participate in a rotation, being able to respond to calls on the weekend or after work hours. You can deny it, but it could be rude with your teammates.
