      Miserable place where you are treated like an insect - Software Development Manager Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      Good pay. Most engineers are skilled.

      Cons

      If you had 1000 achievements and 1 slight mistake, you will be forever known by your mistake: managers intentionally force you to work on what you are least skilled "so you learn". Very long hours. Internal tools are pathetic, unproductive, leading to very long hours. As a manager, you must sacrifice people because the curve is the law. No matter what, 10% of your people must be labeled as Least Effective (LE), even if your team is composed of rock stars.

      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.
