      Pros

      I joined Amazon AWS 3 months ago. So far, it has been n excellent experience. I am managing a team of great engineers who are well-trained, talented, and dedicated to doing the right thing the right way. Coming from a company that was very top-down, I am really enjoying the bottoms-up planning process. I feel much more ownership over the team's strategy, and it takes very little effort to get the team to buy into challenging & valuable tasks. Everyone takes work-life balance seriously, and we have freedom to enjoy our lives.

      Cons

      Some big company clunkiness. With the bad economy, there are now travel & hiring restrictions, but that is understandable. Benefits are slightly above average for the industry.

      Pros

      Amazon pushes you to always be thinking bigger, improving your processes, and becoming more agile

      Cons

      Not for the faint of heart looking for a company where you can coast or fly under the radar

      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.
