Pros

Company and project size means global impact

Cons

Cutthroat culture. The top priority is finding one or more coworkers you can throw under the bus to protect your own position. The Amazon Leadership Principles are often touted and celebrated, but they are weaponized, cherry-picked and used against you even more often than that. Frequent re-orgs and poor vesting schedule reflect the odds an employee will still be there after 2-3 years. Very poor work-life balance.

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.
