      Large and Complex

      Pros

      The opportunity to learn and grow is top notch. Amazon is leading the way in many technologies and there is most likely an area to work on that you can feel passionate about. This could be a particular technology stack you want to work in or a particular market sector you want to work in.

      Cons

      Amazon is large and it is easy to got lost in the ocean without a mentor or someone you can talk with. While Amazon is fast paced I felt like I moved at a snails pace to get onboarded and to get to some real work. I do have 0 years of experience though so. Almost all experiences will be different based on the team you are on.

      Great learning environment and not overly demanding for university hires

      Pros

      I am given a lot of time to learn and grow as a developer and employee. The work environment in my team is pretty casual and fun, but everyone knows how to get things done. Nobody is judgmental that I'm new to working in the industry, they're instead very ready to help me learn and grow. The onboarding activities are very thorough and help tremendously to ease me into the workforce. The compensation is so high it almost feels unfair to accept due to my being so new and not as productive as others on the team. The culture of ownership and leadership principles fit my personality very well.

      Cons

      There's a lot to learn in the projects and a lot of internal sites to get accustomed to, which could overwhelm some people. Barrier to entry is somewhat high.
