Pros

- Amazing experience to witness the scale at which Amazon works - Leadership principles are not just on the paper, you live them day in day out - Dynamic, fast paced and innovative

Cons

- Some teams have become beauraucratic, which is unlike Amazon's Day1 culture - golden handcuffs - for the hard work you did in the past 6 months, you are given future compensation in the next 2-3 years, so you have to stick along with the company for longer - vesting every 6 months is a drag - frugality means no free lunches or freebies.

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.
