Pros

you will get good handful amount of salary. company follows proper software development processes. Good perks. Big Brand.

Cons

No Work-Life balance, Mostly you will work on Internal tools and those have very less similarities with other tools and technologies outside of Amazon. you have to struggle a lot in market to leave Amazon and join other company. I have seen a lot engineers in Amazon with no idea about the things going on outside world.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
