Pros

Learnt a lot working at Amazon. Interesting work, full vertical ownership in the team and freedom to define and execute on your own milestones.

Cons

Most teams are resource strapped. Getting work done from other teams can be challenging unless you are working on high priority / high visibility project with senior leadership backing - then you get to be in the front of the queue for everything!

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.
