Pros

High bar; you'll work with the best. Disciplined. Rigorous goal-setting that is consistently measured. Data-driven decision-making. Always something cool & fun (& also usually groundbreaking) to do. Most managers are hands-off once you show you know what you're doing, and you'll get cool opportunities. People are helpful. This is not a place where one or two people can deliver the scope of change that Amazon bothers with, so asking for help and feedback is almost always accommodated. Senior managers are the hardest working people on campus. And they are humble and relaxing to be around.

Cons

Campus is crowded. If you like peace and quiet, you'll have to work to find it (but you'll find hideaways to get quiet work done).

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.
