      Pros

      Work with very smart people Tons of resources Large scale problems to solve

      Cons

      Management as a skill isn't cultivated or much valued Directors and above too often lack engineering skills and ability to manage tech well Tyranny of the xls--lots of decisions affecting employee experience are made to save Amazon costs but make working there harder, like ceiling annual 401k contributions below federal limits so Amazon can save money on the plan

      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.
