Pros

Very dynamic and fast pace. If you have a good idea they will give you the green light and the opportunity to make an impact. Amazon hires smart people

Cons

Feedback is very passive aggressive. They will let you think you are doing a good job but you will learn the truth during yearly feedback only. They talk about work-life balance, but you will go home early and work from home.

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.
