Pros

The work is varied, and there are so many different teams to work on at Amazon. There are however expectations of working late hours, and owning the product you're working on.

Cons

Late hours, no real work-life balance. Depending on who your boss is, it can take a drastic turn for an unenjoyable work experience. I switched bosses almost a year into working here and both of them are not very competent in managing others.

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.
