Pros

Team dependent, my team is great!

Cons

Stock pay is a scam. They grant you new stocks every year once your new-hire stocks expire, and they always grant for the next year with the ASSUMED value of the stock for the next year, which is always out of touch with reality, so overall stock value will go up very, very slowly. For this reason alone, I would recommend avoiding 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.
