      Pros

      Wide variety of fields to work in and problems to solve.

      Cons

      For a long time the Leadership Principles served as a backbone for maintaining a good culture. Jassy became CEO and added a couple of low value LPs. That began the dilution in culture. Continued ratcheting down of compensation, increased team sizes, and increased top-down mandates has eroded morale.

      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.
