Pros

Great pay and benefits. Great co-workers. Sometimes Amazon throws really good parties for us and shows appreciation.

Cons

Management sucks. They work on there computers all day complaining and threatening you to work faster. The breaks and lunch period is too short. We stand for hours and hours and they only gives us two 15 minutes breaks a day with a 30 minute lunch. Your break starts as soon as the break time is scheduled.

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.
