      Pros

      Junior engineers get a lot of meaningful, high impact projects. A lot of the technological problems have already been solved in a very scalable fashion, so someone right out of college is empowered to build great stuff.

      Cons

      As you progress in your career it's getting harder to find challenges to solve. Even though one of Amazon's tenets is think big and long term investment, sometimes shipping features fast trumps all of that.

      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.
