Pros

In Amazon, you could learn a lot technicalwisely. Tons of tools to learn, great sources for study. You got enough chances to learn how to survive under high pressure environment and deal with tight deadlines.

Cons

Not so proud salary compared to same level of other big techs; Not so proud company culture; Too much pressure sometimes and some not so great managers, I mean, quite a few.

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.
