      the growth is up to you - Software Development Engineer (SDE) II Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      "ownership" is one of the Amazon's leadership principles which applies very well to your growth and personal development within the company. If you want to relax, sit back, and enjoy some "peace", you can. If you want to learn, grow (skills or pursue a promotion), you can.

      Cons

      Compensation is often below its big competitors (fb, google, microsoft) and 'salary rise' is unthinkable unless you promote.

      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.
