      Pros

      Lots of very smart people, stock's high. As a new grad, you will learn a lot of things very quickly.

      Cons

      As an engineer, you will work long hours and will likely to be oncall. It becomes impossible if you want to have a family life and advance in career at Amazon.

      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.
