Pros

Starting at Amazon is challenging due to the sheer size and complexity of the business, however once onboarded it is clear there is plenty of opportunity for career growth and flexibility to take on new challenges. It is encouraged to try new roles and shift within the organization, which I feel is not always the case at other large companies. Company culture is strong and compensation is very competitive.

Cons

The size of Amazon makes it difficult to navigate and it can be difficult to onboard if new (I've had a lot of emails ignored), but I've seen as you settle in it becomes significantly easier.

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.
