      Great place to learn and burn - Software Development Manager Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      Great place to learn about how to develop software, and how to support it. Learn what it means to be customer focused.

      Cons

      You have two choices: Burn out with over-work, or play politics to save your skin. Promotions are based on favoritism in many cases. If you complain to HR about abuse from upper management, be sure they will rat on you and collude to destroy you. Leave before it gets to that.

      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.
