Pros

You can't deny that Amazon offers great benefits from the sign on bonus to the health coverage package even Restricted Stock Units. Amazon offers one heck of a competitive package.

Cons

If you don't work in production, like myself, there isn't any room for advancement past a specific level. No upward movement makes for a very unhappy employee in my opinion. They need to offer the employees more options for advancement. They also don't offer tuition reimbursement which is strange for a huge corporation if you ask me. Communication within the company is lacking and it seems that even if there were opportunities for advancement in my area, you have to be cut-throat to get there.

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.
