Pros

Comp is strong. Signing bonus lasts for multiple years and good stock options.

Cons

The Leadership Principles (LPs) ostensibly guide all decision making, but they are just used by corporate politicians and ladder climbers. This is not a customer obsessed organization by any means, despite what the kool-aid drinkers will tell you. Amazon loves to build all tools internally rather than purchasing competent, functional software, so all systems are running on third-rate garbage tech stacks which makes the day-to-day just that much more obnoxious.

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.
