Pros

- Amazon's Leadership Principles are a known by all employees and put in practice. - Easy to change roles or change job to a different team. You are not limited to a specific scope of work; if you can do more and grow, you can take ownership and drive your ideas. - Mentors are available. - Ideas are valued no matter what level you are at. - It is common to meet with your skip manager regularly as well as your manager. This helps strong individual contributors to not to get stuck under a manager by getting wider visibility.

Cons

I have some coworkers who are not as satisfied due to their team's management. My best advice to them would be to change team since you are enabled to, and their are many new teams that are growing and looking for talent.

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.
