Pros

- first-class software organization - peculiar leadership principles, and the employees do breathe and live with them. They are really and frequently used in assessing strategies, products, processes, and people. - senior leaders are often right a lot and dive deep - lots of internal transfer opportunities and different career choices - contrary to a lot external articles, there are a lot of care and support from management, HR, and company level. the benefits are decent.

Cons

Extreme frugality: you need to spend time to get lunch outside the office, the coffee in the office is extremely light, workspace is a bit crowded, the IT equipments are pretty basic. Admittedly this is also why Amazon is so successful in keeping the price low.

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.
