Pros

Compensation is good and affords me a comfortable life.

Cons

I don't trust that my managers have a coherent vision or strategy. Amazon is such a big company and there are many great managers and leaders across the company. Unfortunately, there are also many managers that seem just as lost as the entry level and mid level engineers.

Pros

Amazon offers a competitive salary

Cons

They skimp out on benefits. Health insurance coverage is pretty minimal. Work culture in most orgs is pretty toxic. Managers often give preference to employees who spend 10+ hours physically at the office. A lot of managers don't know how to measure productivity of SDEs, since they don't themselves have much SDE experience.
