Pros

Everything is driven through the lenses of the Leadership Principles, so it's very easy to know how to succeed and grow here. There are incredibly smart people here, so it's very difficult not to learn and grow your career at an accelerated pace. Above industry average compensation.

Cons

No-one will manage your career or workload for you and Amazon will take everything you want to give it. So if you're overworked, it's your job to not let that happen. If you're not good at pushing back, don't apply.

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.
