      Pros

      Opportunities are vast and easy to come by, and Amazon's resources allow decent amounts of experimentation. Internal transfers between teams is easy and supported. Promotions are relatively easy and are very self guided.

      Cons

      Getting projects required for promotions is up to luck, capacity, and how much management likes you. RTO mandates have NO flexibility causing discrimination against disabled employees CEO has repeatedly ignored employee feedback and has instead publicly announced things that employees do not want. Pay increases are never over 2% unless you are promoted.

      Cons

      Not for the faint of heart looking for a company where you can coast or fly under the radar

      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.
