Pros

Genuinely intelligent co-workers. I have always been very impressed by the quality of the people I work with at Amazon.

Cons

It's a very idiosyncratic company. I have read that the personality of company springs from the CEO, and that is certainly true at Amazon. Jeff Bezos is present in the company in the same way that Steve Jobs is or Bill Gates was. That has its upsides and downsides.

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.
