Pros

There are a lot of smart, hard working people at Amazon. Connect with the right team and you can learn a lot.

Cons

The goal is delivering results, not work-life balance. You have to have the right attitude: focus on the customer and get stuff 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.
