Pros

Amazon allows for changing the floor and systems around you. Nothing is sacred as long as safety and quality are not compromised , and the cost is kept cheap. It is a maturing company that is still not bogged down by corporate waste, and needless paperwork. They pay you very well.

Cons

Amazon hours are long and demanding. Work-life balance is a constant struggle, especially when peak rolls around, then one nearly lives at the building.

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.
