Pros

* Generous package with RSUs * Innovative company * Flexible work environment * Opportunities to work on many interesting topics * Easiness to transfer internally to another team

Cons

* Don't get in at the wrong level, you might end up getting stuck there. * Leadership Principle are just principle. Old Amazonian would live by these standards, but more and more political managers put their short-term interest before company's long-term interest. * Frugality: don't expect ever flying in business or getting any perks * Extremely top down decision making

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.
