      Pros

      Challenging assignments and good learning experience.

      Cons

      1) Unrealistic deadlines which mandates working over time on a regular basis and takes time away from life. 2) Not at all a company for families with kids. 3) Working long hours and taking sick days to cope up with the sickness and stress is a routine here.

      Pros

      Huge platform and data to work with. Amazon challenges you on every aspect. Good knowledge sharing process.

      Cons

      Not at all employee centric, no perks at all. Way too frugal, esp for employees.
