      Pros

      This was my first job out of college, amazon often takes newer people and helps them grow. I learned way more on my first few years on the job than in school. Decent wage and benefits. There are a lot of smart people in aws

      Cons

      Not a lot of vacation time. There are periods during the year where you feel very overworked. Oncall can be a nuisance to your personal life depending on the team and management priorities.

      Really depends on what team you land on...

      Pros

      - Most of the BS office culture so prevalent in silicon valley is not present in South Lake Union (but, see first 'con' below). - Robust dialogue regarding design decisions is strongly encouraged, and SDEs at all levels tend to participate in such dialogues (but, see second 'con' below).

      Cons

      - None of the free meals, free parking, permissive expense policies, and so forth that you'll find in most of the major silicon valley companies. - Background: "Disagree and commit" is one of the core corporate values, and this is often a good thing (see second 'pro' above). However, there are more than just a few SDEs who interpret this as a license to be loudmouthed jerks.
