Pros

Generally at Amazon a lot depends on the team you are on. Each team in a way a separate small company. - good compensation package - smart people to work with - generally, not locked to certain technologies, but need to be proficient as not much time to learn - due to being global company - allows to try different places to live

Cons

- generally very fast moving, when there is a design task, not much time to consider and evaluate different approaches/stacks etc. - not much flexibility wfh (but that's most likely due to local management)

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.
