Pros

Extraodinary challenges. Support from peers and management. Being at the forefront of technology and innovation. Working for a company clients love. Being customer obsessed all the time. Learning and living the best leadership principles.

Cons

Extraodinary challenges - because you'll have to be studying all the time. Support from peers and management - because you know you'll never forgive yourself for letting the team down. Being customer obsessed all the time - because you'll never be able to forget, postpone or ignore any requests. Being at the forefront of technology and innovation - because it will test you and challenge you every minute of your time. Learning and living the best leadership principles - because you'll learn what it took Amazon to become Amazon. Working for a company clients love - because you know you have to continue working with the highest standards for as long as you work here. Work -life balance: you'll need to be able to set your work life balance, and be firm about your priorities.

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.
