Pros

- Big name, helps to have on your resume - Can be working on something for Alexa and see that work live on device within a week

Cons

- Poorly managed: tech is hacky and maintenance is prioritized over solutions/customer oriented thinking - Jobs are not nearly as technical as advertised (more data entry than data science) - Low salaries for big tech - Disappointing culture: inappropriate relationships between management and employees (managers living with/dating employees) and over the line jokes - Poor work life balance

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.
