Pros

Moving to Amazon was a good pay bump. It’s a large company so there are opportunities to move around (granted the hiring freeze/layoffs affect that).

Cons

Very very very political. For such a large company, it’s crazy how unorganized and unstructured things are. There is this perception that whole orgs are run as mini-startups so standardized processes are hard to come by. I guess you could say then that there are plenty of opportunities to improve the way things are done, but that can be tough with the speed you are expected to ramp up on. You constantly have to show/quantify your value and that can be very arduous. If you are good at playing that game, kudos to you.

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.
