Pros

Amazon is a very agile and flat company which will allow you to try absolutely everything you would like to try or learn. Managers are open to career discussions, and if your performance is correct, the company will support your career development plans. When its said Amazon is like a giant startup, it really is, for the goods and the bads.

Cons

The company is not very "people focused". Meaning if offers some of the lowest perks in the industry and does not really enforce a Work-life balance culture. People that progress at Amazon normally work long hours, and its def a fast-pace environment (even higher than industry standards, which are not low).

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.
