Pros

Good money. Work at a large scale only a company like Amazon can offer. Lots of opportunities for learning.

Cons

Customers > Employees. Leadership does not care about you. Everyone has on-call. Some teams are worse than others. Even if you find a good team, a single re-org can take it all away from you. Lies to employees that they can work virtually only to remove the "benefit" after you've changed your life.

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.
