      Pros

      It really depends on the team that you work with as teams vary in their leadership and expectations. Fantastic experience. Work with industry best.

      Cons

      Not predictable hours as the nature of the job is 24/7. Amazon is for everyone, but not everyone is for Amazon. As has been quoted, Amazon is where overachievers go to feel bad about themselves. Re-orgs happen frequently.

      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.
