      - Amazon will teach you about your own limitations - Great compensation - Access to interesting projects and top-notch technologies - Brand new offices in attractive locations - Great company picnic and other events - Executive management is top notch

      Cons

      - Where do you find your managers, in North Korean prisons? - Wicked relationship between business and IT - Indian cliques and the lack of diversity - The culture of drinking alcohol in the office, during the day - Poor support of local initiatives (you are not Microsoft)

      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.
