Pros

Great pay, one of the big fives on the resume to show off.

Cons

Amazon does not know design, design processes or even need designers. The engineers and the analytics are apparently the reason as to why its branding, site and apps looks the way they do, while functioning flawlessly.

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.
