Pros

Ambitious and challenging tasks in every role. Personal growth is actively encouraged. Amazon Leadership Values are transparent and applied everywhere. Great teams and brilliant contributors. You'll thrive if you're hands-on and a team player, as status-seeking and being arrogant won't get you far on most teams.

Cons

Lots of people moving in and out of teams, and many vacancies slowing down progress on projects. Making lateral career moves even into completely new fields is easy, moving up not so much. Lots of stressed out, overworked people, as most teams don't encourage a healthy work-life balance.

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.
