Pros

- Good place to build a strong work ethic. - Build strong interpersonal skills. - Good professional experience. - Good pay.

Cons

- Lots of office politics and favoritism amongst senior leadership. - Thankless work environment that will squeeze every penny out of you. - Most people being promoted aren't ones that are innovative or strong performers. You must be a 'Yes Man' or you will have a tough time being promoted. - One of Amazon's leadership principle is 'Have a back bone and disagree' but this is not practical (site specific) since disagreeing with Sr Leadership, even with valid reasons, can put a black mark on Sr leadership's perception of you.

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.
