Pros

You are surrounded with tough problems and brilliant people. The work place is dynamic and personable. The problems are unique, interesting, and new. The company isn't afraid of loss leading/risk so projects are stable. The impact that each team member has is much larger than typical.

Cons

The equipment is Scrappy, limited to bare essentials. Staffing is really light so everyone has more work then time. Amazon struggles to fit good learnings in the software process to hardware design

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.
