Pros

- Lots of mobility - No one expects you to work after hours (unless you're oncall) and your time is strictly your own - Distinct (and awesome) lack of bro-culture

Cons

- No dogs in Lab126 or Varzea :(

Pros

Amazon has a strong brand and stock. There are many talented engineers. There is easy access to resources and tools, such as AWS, making it easy to quickly setup systems and services.

Cons

Its hard to stand out or make an impact. There is an atmosphere of competition instead of collaboration. Fast delivery is prioritized over quality and work-life balance.
