Pros

Stocks are generous. Work with smart people.

Cons

Many people there are very driven and will do whatever it takes to get ahead including stomping on others. Averaged 2-3 different managers per year. Amazon does not invest in it's people. People are never penalized for being outright jerks as no leadership principle pertains to that. Not a healthy work environment. No good work/life balance

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.
