Pros

For external people: Amazon pays as much as 50%++ more for external hires than incumbent ones at same level. Culture is very international and DEI is everywhere

Cons

Internal promotion is like a fishing bait. You can get it if you work super long hours. But even after getting it you'll be surprised of salary increase (around 10% even)

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.
