Pros

- Great internal processes - Well written technical documentation - Interesting product - Highly qualified employees - Powerful platform

Cons

- Too mechanical, no room for self-expression - Poor system for providing and receiving actionable feedback - Unfair decision making in terms of promotions/tasks division among team members - Horrible human resource services in all regards, excluding payslip department - Amazon's frugality for employees means that all you will ever receive as actual bonus is a t-short or hoodie, no birthday bonuses, no work anniversary presents, no nothing

The pace can be fast and demanding at times, which requires strong time management skills. Work-life balance may vary depending on the team and project deadlines.

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.
