Pros

Amazon is a place that does not slow down. We invest in growth and have found a lot of success, which is something to be proud of. You also do not often run into situations where good ideas are not given a fair hearing and/or resources to mature.

Cons

Amazon is run like a conglomeration of small businesses, so your experience depends a lot on your local team. For the most part, there's a very high standard for managers, but a bad manager could have a big impact on your experience and the success of your team.

Pros

Medical/ dental/ vision insurance, mental assistance, 401k, lawyer assistance, Career choice, VTO, PTO, vacation time

Cons

Most AMs have avoritism among employees. We get mandatory extra time (now is calling "voluntary" but you have to go when it is schedule) at the end of the year, what makes difficult for some of us when we have kids and they're really rigid about it.

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.
