Pros

Amazon is still a relatively new company, as such, there is a lot of room for growth if you are patient and like to promote yourself

Cons

Managers care mostly about what benefits them and not Amazon. Very little planning. Most communications are passed along at the last second. They will tell you they provide paid holidays, but what they mean is that you will be required to work and they will pay you for it. They will hire you for one task, but then create walls that prevent you from doing your job.

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.
