      A good place to cut your teeth! - Software Development Engineer Amazon Employee Review

      Pros

      Everyday at Amazon was a challenge, but in a good way. I enjoyed the people a lot...and there were a lot of interesting people that worked in Seattle. The development community was always there to help. Same goes for managers and top execs.

      Cons

      Used to be a small development shop. It is now a larger corporation, and feels like it. There is a lot of red tape getting things done, especially when projects collide and require the same resources. If it is a "Jeff" project, those always seem to win.

      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.
