Pros

It is good at early career stages when you want to learn. They push you beyond reason to do a lot of stuff, eventually making your life at any other company a piece of cake later on.

Cons

- Working at Amazon feels like chasing 2 deadlines every single day (your mileage may vary but most teams are workaholic) - My manager used to check status updates and assign new tasks in the morning scrum and ask for updates in the afternoon. - Most people in my team had 30-40 tickets pending on them (no kidding!)

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.
