Pros

You get to say that you worked at Amazon (not easy to get through the interview process). You will work with incredibly intelligent people and you will learn along the way.

Cons

Constant chaos for subpar pay, you'll take a pay cut every year due to mediocre comp adjustments, stock price continually decreasing, and your hiring bonuses going away. Leadership are robots, promotions become a form of punishment for high performers (promos get rejected regularly for non-value add reasons), everyone is in a pure panic all the time, leadership don't seem to have a clear idea of what is happening most of the time. After several years, I need to be off the Amazon roller coaster.

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.
