Pros

THe people here are smart. You'd be wise to leverage their wisdom to get ahead. All in all its a great work experience where you get a lot of input and feedback from your peers. Also the work is quite interesting depending on where you work.

Cons

One thing I didn't like was that sometimes tasks such as fixing bugs can get quite annoying but hey thats software development for you

Pros

- Great brand - Average plus salary - Amazon has built benchmark in ECommerce and other spaces as well. To reach that it has developed tonnes of great software, algorithms, etc. It is like a niche encyclopedia. If you want to learn then there is loads to read. - If you are really passionate then you can build great products. - Aggressive - Highly customer focused

Cons

These are specific to Bangalore, India - Poor higher management - Least number of facilities for employees - Even a simple task is made into a firedrill - Poor work-personal life balance - Repetative nature of tasks
