Pros

The opportunities to do interesting work are there at Amazon. The pay and work/life balance is good. Management is very good from my experience

Cons

The benefits are not great. Conveniences which are common at other companies like a gym or snacks/drinks are often not provided. The company makes a lot of questionable decisions under the guise of "frugality"

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.
