      Pros

      Good pay. You don't accumulate any career capital. Barely any skill you acquire here will be transferrable to a new job.

      Cons

      Getting things done is tedious. The pretentiousness around "Amazon leadership principles" is unbearable.

      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.
