Pros

Amazon is a huge company with multiple engineers on a team. You get to learn a lot but you must make sure that you are contributing to others learning as well.

Cons

Amazon can be brutal if you do not perform well. Especially always keep a good rapport with your manager and keep all your artifacts documented and communications/blockers saved over email.

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.
