Pros

You get to work with some of the smartest people in the industry. The environment is very competitive, you would stand out as a sore thumb if you are not performing as well as the others. The work is quite interesting depending on what aspect of Amazon you are working on. You get to work with latest technologies in the field. You are expected to be a self starter and have the ability to learn on the job and adapt to rapidly changing work priorities. You should be flexible with your work hours as you might be working weekend when the work is real crazy.

Cons

Work longer hours Not much growth opportunity in a QA role Bonuses not as good as offered by competition

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.
