      Pros

      Projects, really smart people, scalability, use of AWS. The company you should start working for when you get into the big tech league, it has really strong points such as documentation, project management and things you never thought you'd be working on.

      Cons

      At this point instead of being the "world's biggest startup" (Jassy's words) it feels more like a behemoth similar to a bank in terms of regulations and bureaucracy. They should fire more managers, at this point most of them are useless

      Pros

      AWS has one of the most fun and interactive assessments upon applying and if you pass they almost instantly give you an interview with the recruiter.

      Cons

      I don't have any thus far

      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.
