Pros

You can lead, propose, change whatever you want if you have enough data. Too many things to learn (for me is a Pro and Con at the same time). Good benefits and salary They really care about your growth and managers are evaluated based on your growth. Several opportunities around the world.

Cons

Sometimes there's a lot of ambiguity. Role is too specific and there is few space to do things outside your role (unless you want a bad performance review or you are a super human). As Amazon is a huge company, sometimes getting HR help or other could be complicated (to locate the right person). Remote locations could be different from Headquarters in terms of resources, equipment and opportunities.

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.
