Pros

Amazon has a very unique culture which can sometimes be intimidated for people who do not fit the corporate principles but for others it may be a perfect fit. Definitely a company that will do anything to please customers and constantly invent.

Cons

The company is very hierarchal and occasionally extremely inefficient. Maintains huge technical debt and doesn't use modern technology. Relationship with open source is disgracing.

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.
