Pros

It is the place to learn the the latest in customer centric web technologies and online retailing. It also pays very well.

Cons

Very intense and demanding environment. Expectations of employee dedication are very high and management does not respond well work-life balance requests. Management is very intense and has very high expectations of employees and does not respond well to mistakes. It is a low margin retailing company and the perks are very small compared to other high tech companies.

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.
