Pros

Because Amazon is not focused on previous experience, it is easy to get hired right out of college. Amazon is an environment where you can easily grow and learn a lot.

Cons

Despite the above, Amazon has a VERY high turnover. This is due in large part to the fact that there is nowhere to advance to. It is virtually impossible to achieve meaningful advancement without leaving the company.

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.
