Pros

Good relocation compensation. 3 days off.

Cons

Amazon treats it's employees really poorly. You have no say in what shift you will work...you basically sell your soul to the company. Work extremely long hours. Extremely disorganized company. Don't offer any type of valuable training. Expected to micromanage even though they claim that it's not what they want to do. Very high turn over rate. Amazon doesn't do anything to keep it's managers happy. Work environment feels like a sweatshop.

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.
