      Pros

      There are many great engineers working for Amazon, you can learn a lot while making decent money.

      Cons

      Burn rate at Amazon is very high, but it is very team specific. The average engineer stays only 1 1/2 years before moving on, which makes knowledge transfers and long term projects more difficult than they should be.

      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.
