Pros

- Great brand - Average plus salary - Amazon has built benchmark in ECommerce and other spaces as well. To reach that it has developed tonnes of great software, algorithms, etc. It is like a niche encyclopedia. If you want to learn then there is loads to read. - If you are really passionate then you can build great products. - Aggressive - Highly customer focused

Cons

These are specific to Bangalore, India - Poor higher management - Least number of facilities for employees - Even a simple task is made into a firedrill - Poor work-personal life balance - Repetative nature of tasks

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.
