Pros

The people that work here are often extremely dedicated and smart, and are content with less while doing more. Some of those people are pretty good role models and in general everyone is pretty helpful and kind.

Cons

The work life balance depends on the team you are working on. I have seen people that work all of their weekends and I have seen people that barely work their hours. Also in general the company does not invest into their employees much, this is the amazon's frugality at play. You get the bare minimum to get your work done and nothing more unless you have a very good reason to need it, so don't expect much love in that aspect.

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.
