Pros

If you're like me and love being part software developer and part product manager, Amazon is the best place for you. You'll get to own a product from the very beginning to the very end. My work-life balance is also pretty good, I probably work 40 to 45 hours a week.

Cons

Amazon's perks are very spartan - no free food, no free drinks, etc.

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.
