Pros

If you want to be surrounded by smart and experienced people, work on high-scale high-impact projects, constantly challenge yourself - Amazon is a place to go. Great offices, opportunities for global travel, great benefit package, strong network.

Cons

You need to be good at setting boundaries if you want to have work-life balance, otherwise, this place is very demanding. Promotions are hard. Change in orgs/leadership is very frequent.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
