      Pros

      Working at Amazon can lead you to work with some really intelligent, hard-working engineers on projects at massive scales (think millions of TPS).

      Cons

      Unfortunately, within Amazon you can have a variety of differences in leadership quality. Personally, I have had a couple of fantastic managers, but equally as many less competent ones. Additionally, there are a lot of top-down mandates and a seeming lack of ambition from leadership towards growing and externalizing services that have the potential to do so.

      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.
