Pros

Learn how a very large web company works. Can get involved in the cutting edge of data center design.

Cons

Very high turnover and general dissatisfaction of employees with how the company treats them. Very little formal training and oversight. There will always be more work to do; you could work 60 or 80 hours per week, or more. Some people have done >100 hours for more than one consecutive week, and Amazon tries to push you to do so. Just hope that you are non-exempt!

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.
