      Pros

      Potential large impact Many great colleagues Leadership principals provide basis for making good decisions

      Cons

      Amazon consistently values: - speed over quality - operational effort over reliability - technical debt over discipline - extending rather than refactoring/rebuilding. Leadership principals can be weaponized to justify bad decisions.

      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.
