Pros

-Very smart managers -Always pushing the envelope

Cons

-To meet expectations, it's difficult to have a work/life balance -Senior leadership tends to manage with fear -Highly competitive environment can devolve into finger pointing if leadership doesn't keep people focused on improving the process. -The leader development process is horrible...Amazon operates on an OJT model where you have to develop any lacking skills yourself, or you will weeded out.

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.
