Pros

The continuous growth and development of this company, and its diversity, means there really is opportunity to develop yourself and build a career that truly is limitless. The company as a whole really does focus on caring and looking after everyone through a true Safety first approach, and wants to ensure we have fun, especially at our busiest times of the year. This gives rise to a true community feel within the company in which everyone is approachable. If your own core values align with foundation of the company culture and direction, this really does become an addictive and enjoyable place to work, and you become proud of the Amazonian DNA that defines you as a leader in the company, at every level!

Cons

A company that progresses and grows this quick means you are continuously learning, and staying ahead of the curve means hard work and dedication, as well as key time management, whilst not necessarily a Con for most, it does lead to a relentless challenge and you need to be intrinsically motivated for this environment, be able to identify and recognize your own successes with a desire and passion for what truly makes this company tick. You manage your own work life balance, if you don't, you run the risk of self-burnout so make sure your time management is to a high standard!

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.
