      Pros

      - Working for one of the big 5 in tech - Learning how Amazon succeeded, ..... including Starting from the customer and working backwards - In my role I was exposed to product management in addition to technical leadership. This was useful for my career

      Cons

      - Only benefits is salary and health insurance. 2% 401K match.... Compared to all companies I worked for, 6, Amazon is the 2nd worst when it comes to benefits. - Unfair time load on DEV team when it comes to interviewing, with no ROI whatsoever. - Robotics culture. Clear carelessness about the human aspect of employees. Especially at the VP/SVP/CEO levels

      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.
