Pros

Amazon encourages innovation which is a huge difference from previous places I've worked. It is extremely fast-paced with a lot of ambiguity, so to be successful, you have to have a strong bias for action. If you do, you will be able to advance quickly because Amazon is growing so fast.

Cons

It is very hard work. Amazon is growing very quickly, and keeping up can be a challenge. The rewards are worth it, however.

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.
