Pros

Rapid development, ability to learn a lot and develop quickly in a short period of time if you put in the work and seize the opportunities

Cons

Typical elements of a toxic workplace. Not everywhere, but it’s prevalent. Politics, finger pointing, and empire building rather than top to bottom genuine team collaboration. That said, those characteristics have been present in every medium/large sized tech company I’ve been at in the last 15+ years which has aggressive / ambitious goals for innovation and are NPD-focused environments. It’s a bit amplified at AMZ but not by much.

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.
