      Pros

      Working at Amazon is everything I hoped it would be. The leadership principles drive everything at Amazon from the interview process, to on-boarding, to the job with an emphasis on continued day 1 mentality customer obsession and constant innovation. The teams at Amazon are kept small with an emphasis on autonomy where the teams determine their roadmap; essentially operating like startups within the larger company.

      Cons

      The interview process is very challenging though its intention to hire the best is demonstrated in each high performing employee.

      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.
