Pros

Amazon looks good on your resume.

Cons

The worse benefits of any company I've ever worked for. Don't plan on getting any paid holidays actually off (you must request them, and you may not get them). Full-time employees accumulate just 6 PTO days per year. There are NONE of the same benefits that other tech companies offer such as free food, unlimited paid vacation, etc. It's not fun to be an employee of Amazon. Employees are not respected or regarded in any way except as slaves who should be "lucky" to be working for Amazon. Lastly, the pay is NOT even close to competitive for the cost of living in Seattle.

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.
