Pros

Great pay, great advancement opportunities. Love that I had a long career with amazon and would of still been spending my years there for the right manager.

Cons

Bureaucracy to the extreme level. Especially if you are at a smaller site. At time it felts people focused more on feelings rather than merit. For a company that says they are metric driven it doesn't always show.

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.
