Pros

Amazon has a unique culture of letting you set your goals & drive your career, so far it aligns with the organization/team goals. I am particularly pleased about their two-way-door policy which allows employees to make quick decisions or experiment ideas unilaterally without bureaucracy. It helps you invent quickly

Cons

Too many information, too many emails & little guidance. It always feel like you are drinking from a fire hose. If you are a type A person, always hungry for knowledge, you will thrive here. You will be doing so much that may impact your worklife 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.
