Pros

Talented coworkers, some brand recongnition

Cons

A large chunk of managers at Amazon are untrained, they do not know how to work with you to grow. They will try to instill fear if things are not going their way. They have too much power and the culture is getting worse because of bad market outside. It is much better to work for another company with decent policies and slightly better culture.

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.
