Pros

Amazon is a giant company, but any employee I know shares the company leadership principles. This is the most important thing that makes Amazon peculiar in my opinion, and this is something I find extremely valuable.

Cons

Working in AWS can be very challenging for various reasons: it's a very fast moving environment, where very challenging problems are dealt with by very smart people. So you'll have to work very hard to keep the bar high!

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.
