Pros

Amazon is an inspiring atmosphere where you are surrounded by brilliant minds; no matter your vertical, it is guaranteed that you will meet peers who truly raise the bar.

Cons

Amazon is heavily focused on feedback -- and positive feedback is hard to earn. This can make it a struggle to grow, and advance your career. Additionally, the work/life balance is weighted more towards work, than life (in my personal experience). This is not the case for all teams, but definitely is the case for a lot of the engineering teams.

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.
