Pros

Pay is decent and stocks keep rising. The medical benefits are also one of the best.

Cons

Amazon can be pretty cutthroat. It's not for everyone. If you are not constantly improving, you'll be left behind. Or worse, let go.

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.
