Pros

Employees at all levels are encouraged to voice their opinions and share their ideas. Work hard, play hard mentality. Respectable leadership for the most part. Potential for growth and advancement if you're determined. Fair compensation.

Cons

Some on the management team need to learn to show respect. Work life balance not anywhere close to being adequate; can be draining mentally and physically when working in Amazon Ops.

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.
