      Pros

      Most orgs offer a fast paced environment. The leadership principles are cool, if you're in an org that is old Amazon.

      Cons

      Every org is like a separate company. Some are good. Some are bad. Rules and policies are interpreted differently in each. The company offers very little protection against bad orgs. The company's rapid growth has affected the culture. Retaliation is accepted by the company.

      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.
