Pros

Amazon wants their employees to work on projects where they can use their best strengths. Because Amazon has so many teams working on so many different products, you can find a great fit for your combination of strengths. Most people who work here are bright, hardworking and of good character.

Cons

Most people who work here have high standards, especially of themselves, so people feel a lot of pressure from within. This can lead to people being a bit negative. In a large organization and at the huge scale of Amazon, it is difficult to take a big idea from conception to deployment. It is hard to know who owns what, how to navigate the organization and inject a new idea into an existing budgeted and approved roadmap.

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.
