Pros

Good comp, autonomy (for most part), ability to influence your objectives

Cons

Satisfaction/ability to succeed and/or advance in career are largely dependent on how competent your direct manager (and sometimes skip-level) is and how much they go to bat for you. Of course, you still have to be competent and hard working, I was fortunate to have capable and supportive managers during my tenure… but I’ve seen more than a few colleagues get held back from promotion and even pushed out of positions they were performing well in because they’re managers did not like them personally.

Amazon pushes you to always be thinking bigger, improving your processes, and becoming more agile

Not for the faint of heart looking for a company where you can coast or fly under the radar

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.
