Reviews about Pay & benefits for Software Engineer at Amazon.com
Work Hard and Play Never
Software Development Engineer (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 January 2018
Amazon demands a lot of its developers, but if you can stick with them, the pay is great, and the benefits are pretty above-average. If you've got the drive, the talent, and the spare time, go for it.
Pros
Income, Opportunity to Move Around
Cons
Long Hours, Lower Appreciation

Horrible management, work like a mule
Software Engineer (Current Employee) - Vancouver, BC - 21 February 2018
Chaotic management, no regard for work quality. Work life balance is non existent, company does not respect its employees. Go somewhere else if you want to be a decent human being.
Pros
Compensation on par with market
Cons
Company will work you until burn out

Some teams are good, but upper management is terrible
Software Development Engineer (Former Employee) - Seattle, WA - 23 May 2022
I originally had a good manager, but then we got a new one. The new manager was focused more on making it look like we were productive than actually producing a usable product. I also sat in on a meeting with upper management for our org and they spent the entire time aggressively grilling teams. The management was very negative.
Pros
High base pay
Cons
Very few perks, no free lunch, very little vacation time
