      Pros

      If you have a good organization around you, it can feel like the sky is the limit. Unlimited resources, a huge talent pool, and a propensity to take big swings on innovative technology.

      Cons

      Amazon's culture is very driven by your immediate organization. If you are on a team where work-life balance is not respected, or operations is deprioritized over features, your leadership chain is to blame and no engineer can change that. Get out or get used to 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.
