Pros

The well-known reading/writing culture fuels good discussions. Tech roles will be surprised on reading and writing non-tech topics 7 out of 10 times, and I am convinced it is a good thing. Amazonians are among the smartest, and most resilient individuals I've worked with.

Cons

A lot of your career development will depend on having a good manager. Amazonians will need to identify if this is the case quickly and move somewhere else otherwise.

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.
