Pros

You get to do things people talk about. I mean it - I remember the first time when I heard random people in a tour bus in a different country talking about something my team did at Amazon in the US. There are no textbooks that can teach you do things at Amazon's scale, you get to invent new solutions that never existed before. Sr. Leadership is typically OK with us choosing how we get things done. We get to deal with ambiguity a lot with little supervision.

Cons

I am concerned that past Sr. Manager level in the company your growth opportunities are limited. While it is true that as a Sr. Manager you can do a lot of interesting things, based on my observations, the average time it takes to organically grow from Sr. Manager to Director are ranging from 5 to 10 years. All this time you will be just Sr. Manager.

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.
