Pros

Overall Amazon pays well once you have been there for a few years. They do provide you with a bus pass and I've met some great people there.

Cons

Overall the work life balance is horrible. If you have a family and/or kids, you are looked down on if you leave at a normal hour to be with them. There soft benefits are almost non existent and the way they do their review process makes people put each other down. They only focus on what is wrong and what they don't like about your work. There is no celebrating the wins.

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.
