Pros

Engineering teams are good, Good diversity, Office location good if you live on south side Nice office space

Cons

Before joining search for Amazon URA Targets (yes it’s a target and may target more than one person) as a manager you will spend a lot of your time using this on you team. As a team member make sure your not at the back of the pack at year end. It doesn’t matter if your good, it only matters that your one of the least effective on your team ! Work-Life balance is not good

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
