Pros

Amazon is a great place to learn about distributed computing, scaling, writing web services, and learning rapid software development. It's not the sweat shop that a lot of people describe, and the company as a whole is not afraid to try new things.

Cons

The perks can be better (no free food or drinks), and so can the benefits. From time to time, you do have to go oncall.

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.
