      Pros

      Amazon offers cutting edge technology, successful online retail, beautiful campus on South Lake Union in Seattle, and company name recognition.

      Cons

      Door desks, aversion to business and process standards, internal politics, pager duty, micro-management from the executive level, expensive parking, stingy benefits especially when compared to the industry, stock accounts with sub-standard brokerage house.

      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.
