      Pros

      Amazon can be a great place to work depending on how you want to job to be and where you want to go with your career. There are lots of great opportunities but the job is frequently rough. - fun culture - lots of interesting work - company is currently heading a great direction

      Cons

      - some teams have LOTS of legacy baggage - resistance to change - huge amounts of time spent on operations - you should know you'll be carrying a pager around

      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.
