Pros

At Amazon the overall culture is great to develop your hard and soft skills. You will be faced with difficult technical challenges, learn to work within a large organization that makes agility, and also be surrounded by people who have experience doing the same. It's a fast-paced environment, but can be rewarding as well.

Cons

The team your on can make a difference in your day to day culture. This will determine response to delays and misses/learnings. Ideally leaning opportunities are embraced and shared, but in some teams the value for speed and agility outweighs. Something to balance.

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.
