      Pros

      I honestly can't think of any.

      Cons

      I worked for a few software companies during my career. This is by far the worst one. People are horrible, politics and back stabbing is rewarded over hard work, management shouldn't be entrusted to manage sheep, let alone people. Please stay away. Listen, if you got an offer from Amazon, and you're on the fence, let this anonymous review push you over to the right side. STAY AWAY. Yeah, the money might seem like a lot, but when you quit or get fired after 6 months, good luck repaying back gross (meaning more than they gave you) amount.

      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.
