      Pros

      Working at Amazon gives you the chance to solve problems at a global scale that few other companies face. You are surrounded by incredibly smart people, and the "Ownership" Leadership Principle is very real—you have a lot of say in your projects. The compensation is competitive, and the "Day 1" culture keeps things exciting and innovative.

      Cons

      The fast-paced environment isn't for everyone. You have to be proactive about managing your own work-life balance, as the company moves very quickly.

      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.
