Pros

You are employed at Amazon because they require you specific skills. They treat you as the expert. You work autonomously. They are interested in your unique contributions. The culture is narrative driven which fosters clarity of thought.

Cons

As in every large company, sometimes there is a feeling that your contributions aren't recognized in the way you'd like them to be. Advancement in the company is a structured and exact process which can take at least 18 months.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
