Pros

Lots of smart people. Good pay, able to work on big projects.

Cons

As amazon company gets from big to huge, the established businesses, mainly .com, value less and less on performance and results, but more on office politics and favoritism of management. So don’t get expect promoted from good work alone. U have to play games heavily that doesn’t add value to the company. So if u have good social skills and willing to suck up who u reporting to, come and join the company. U will do well by riding the past success of Jeff Bezos and fellow coworkers.

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.
