Pros

You always hear the horror stories about how insane amazon can be for a software developer. I can't speak for the whole company, but my current team has been pretty relaxed overall. The job isn't easy, but I still only clock in 40-45 hours a week. It's a great place to grow as a developer.

Cons

It's not easy, but to be honest for how much they pay you it's not surprising. The work isn't overbearing, but it is there.

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.
