Pros

Learning/growth opportunities, highly skilled colleagues, options to go deep and get expertise, but also possibilities to change teams.

Cons

Many developer roles come with oncall which may mean you get paged in the night. Not everybody likes it, but it's part of the ownership principle. And you must agree with Amazon's treatment of logistics workers.

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.
