Pros

You'll learn a lot, and fast. You'll get to work with and learn from very smart and motivated people. Being so customer-centric, you'll gain experience on many diverse real-life scenarios and use-cases. Your CV/LinkedIn profile will automatically become more appealing to recruiters. Can negotiate better roles/salaries post leaving Amazon.

Cons

A very cult-ish mindset across the whole company (see leadership princps, etc). Promotion processes are beaurocratic and often long/painful/unrealistic (esp at higher seniorities). Too much metrics-focused, easy to get burnednout and quit. Onboarding is often messy. Low salary + low yearly compensation despite being industry leader.

Pros

Excellent pay/benefits, Safety first mindset, flexible scheduling, fantastic training program, phenomenal team support, convenient locations. Plenty of pathways for career advancement and full support for self promotion. Culture is fantastic. You really can be yourself and make many new friends fast. Teamwork is outstanding. Everyone is always willing to help.

Cons

Growing so fast that it's hard to keep the same manager. I've had four managers in two months. Constantly have to adapt to new procedures and changes and working locations. Always in a state of flux. Standards keep changing all the time
