Pros

there are a lot of nice people working here and lots of good engineers. Managers are encouraged to help you grow in your career. The managers i’ve met are all very supportive.

Cons

the company as a whole does not care about the wellbeing of its employees, to amazon people are replaceable. They’ve also started mandating 5 days a week in the office. They claim to be striving to be the best employer in the world but do nothing to meet those goals.

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.
