      Pros

      If you want to reskill into a different specialty, such as moving between cloud, embedded, hardware, networking, or frontend roles, a big company like Amazon is great. Internal transfers are easy.

      Cons

      You will be at the end of a long, intentionally vague chain of command, things will happen without great reasoning or explanation, and you might spend an enormous amount of time on very silly endeavors

      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.
