Pros

Amazon requires a lot in terms of professionalism, and truly does have the customer's satisfaction at heart. You'll be working with some of the best engineers in the industry.

Cons

I think the customer's needs come before the employees. While this is as it should be, a larger portion of the profits thus generated should come back to the employees by way of extra shares.

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.
