Pros

Nice office Knowledgeable teams in the US Better than average pay

Cons

Zero work life balance Corporate culture (nothing like Google or Facebook) Disparity and lack of communication with cross functional teams, departments and senior management Amazon's peculiar ways Still very much a US centric company Gaps in knowledge Basically if you want a rundown of why not to work at Amazon, read any recent articles about their culture at Tech Insider, BuzzFeed and NY Times, they're spot on.

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.
