      Pros

      A lot of learnings about real world business problems and there is a lot of breadth across Amazon businesses to be explored.

      Cons

      Org Dependent. URA Quota is real, good people are thrown under the bus. Unnecessary sense of urgency is prevalent.

      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.
