      Pros

      Learn a lot about effective business practices. After leaving Amazon, almost everything is frustrating because they have a lot of great mechanisms and a strong alignment to how work is done. Leaders are really sharp and if they trust you, you can get a lot done. Many opportunities to move horizontally if your location allows.

      Cons

      You have to fight very hard to do anything, there is a lot of hoops to jump through and a lot of admin that distracts from just doing good work. You have to justify your existence at every WBR, MBR, and QBR, plus during annual planning which has two rounds every year. Career and growth opportunities are location dependent, which is a shame when high performers are located anywhere other than Seattle or DC.

      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.
