Pros

Working at Amazon gives you the ability to learn and to interact with incredibly smart people. There is no shortage of interesting projects or initiatives. Good place to develop writing skills.

Cons

Grinder culture, work is your life, incredibly bad and toxic managers tend to hang on much too long, and in some cases thrive. While everyone is a vocal proponent for direct communication style, finding errors in projects can lead to retaliation.

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.
