Pros

Groudbreaking projects used by around the world. It feels like we are writing operating system for the next 100 years :-) One can achieve anything here as long as they have energy and interest. In my team work/life balance is very good. I don't feel pressure from management to do overtime, we did put more hours in order to release my current project on time.

Cons

Due to the active growth and interns we were in high-density seating during the summer. A new Amazon building will open nearby soon and some teams will move there freeing up space.

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.
