Pros

One of the most innovative companies on earth! This is an exciting place to work, always something new and challenging. The pay is highly competitive, the talent I work with on a daily basis is astounding, and the culture is outstanding. Very customer focused!

Cons

There are not alot of "pay grades" at Amazon, so this isn't the place for people who are looking to get promoted every year. Titles here tend to be modest in comparison to the level of responsibility. But the amount of opportunity, and the pay within each pay grade, more than makes up for that gap.

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.
