Pros

Descent pay Benefits are descent Brilliant people to work with from all over the world Challenging environment

Cons

Don't expect to take time off (vacation or personal days) and not have to answer calls or work during that time. Expect to work 50 to 80 hrs per week. Churn and burn Echoing another Amazon blog: "Very fly-by-the seat of your pants. Everything was a fire drill, even minor issues."

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.
