Pros

Everyone is treated as a leader in Amazon. There are so many opportunities to innovate and experiment. I don't do things here because someone has told me to do so. I do things because I believe they are the right things. I am expected to set my goals and also establish my value. I haven't found any other company where you get so much of feedback.

Cons

It can be very daunting in the beginning. Since the culture is so peculiar here. It takes time to settle in this culture, especially when you come with the baggage of experience. There is a lot of unlearning required in order to succeed here. Culture assimilation cannot be taught as it is a journey of experience that everyone goes through.

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.
