Pros

Lot's of opportunities to promote and grow in this company. The majority of my leadership was far better than leadership at my last job, in so many aspects.

Cons

Amazon's woke culture will be their downfall. Their management isn't able to give raises or promotions bases on work ethic, it typically comes down to race when these decisions are made. Just because you are promoting somebody who isn't white, doesn't make it not racist.

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.
