Pros

As a machine learning scientist as Amazon you get to work on new problems every day and at the same time watch your solutions impact customers. You are encouraged to think big and make bold bets. There are lots of smart and experienced people to learn from. Amazon is one of the few companies who understands that there needs to the right mix of engineering and science. It is truly phenomenal to see these two worlds work so closely at Amazon.

Cons

As a machine learning scientist you may not get to publish as much as you like.

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.
