Pros

There will be opportunities to learn. Be mindful of the team you join. Usually, there are smart people around you. Respectful environment. But all these ultimately depend on your team too

Cons

An engineer, have to wait ~2 years to move across teams. Given the size of the company, you may be working in a team that is a poor fit so be mindful of which team you join.

Pros

The only thing I love about Amazon is they have amazing free training courses for employees. There are tons of learning resources, many technical broadcast videos. Great learning experience for me.

Cons

Horrible micro management. I have been with 2 teams and all managers are extremely bad. I've been in the tech industry with many years of experience and I never had any bad experience with managers until I joined Amazon. This is 100% true
